Chapter 81

To the chief Musician upon Gittiyth, A Mizmor of Acaph.

1

SING aloud unto Elohiym our strength: make a joyful noise unto the Elohiym of Ya`aqov.

2

Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

3

Blow the shofar on the dark New Moon today on our solemn feast.

4

For this was a statute for Yashar'el, and a law of the Elohiym of Ya`aqov.

5

This he ordained in Yahuceph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Mitsrayim: where he heard a language that he did not understand.

6

I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.

7

You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder: I proved you at the waters of Meriyvah. Celah.

8

Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto you: O Yashar'el, if you will hearken unto me;

9

There shall no strange el be in you; neither shall you worship any strange el.

10

I am Yahuah Elohayka, which brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11

But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Yashar'el would none of me.

12

So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

13

Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Yashar'el had walked in my ways!

14

I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

15

The haters of Yahuah should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured forever.

16

He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied you.
