1 To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith. Of Asaph.
2 \81:1\Make a song to God our strength: make a glad cry to the God of Jacob.
3 \81:2\Take up the melody, playing on an instrument of music, even on corded instruments.
4 \81:3\Let the horn be sounded in the time of the new moon, at the full moon, on our holy feast-day:
5 \81:4\For this is a rule for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
6 \81:5\He gave it to Joseph as a witness, when he went out over the land of Egypt; then the words of a strange tongue were sounding in my ears.
7 \81:6\I took the weight from his back; his hands were made free from the baskets.
8 \81:7\You gave a cry in your trouble, and I made you free; I gave you an answer in the secret place of the thunder; I put you to the test at the waters of Meribah. (Selah.)
9 \81:8\Give ear, O my people, and I will give you my word, O Israel, if you will only do as I say!
10 \81:9\There is to be no strange god among you; you are not to give worship to any other god.
11 \81:10\I am the Lord your God, who took you up from the land of Egypt: let your mouth be open wide, so that I may give you food.
12 \81:11\But my people did not give ear to my voice; Israel would have nothing to do with me.
13 \81:12\So I gave them up to the desires of their hearts; that they might go after their evil purposes.
14 \81:13\If only my people would give ear to me, walking in my ways!
15 \81:14\I would quickly overcome their haters: my hand would be turned against those who make war on them.
16 \81:15\The haters of the Lord would be broken, and their destruction would be eternal.
17 \81:16\I would give them the best grain for food; you would be full of honey from the rock.
1 要向 神我们的力量欢呼， 要向雅各的 神大声呼叫。
2 要唱诗歌， 打手鼓， 弹奏美好的琴瑟。
3 要在月朔， 在月望， 在我们守节的日子吹角。
4 因为这是给以色列的律例， 是雅各的 神的典章。
5 约瑟从埃及地出来（"约瑟从埃及地出来"或译： " 神出去攻击埃及地"）的时候， 神为约瑟立了这法规。我听见了我不晓得的言语。
6 神说： "我要除去你（"你"原文作"他"）肩头的重担， 使你（"你"原文作"他"）的手放下筐子。
7 你在患难中呼求， 我就搭救你； 我在打雷的密云中回答你， 在米利巴的水边试验你。"（细拉）
8 "我的子民哪！ 你要听， 我要劝戒你； 以色列啊！ 但愿你肯听从我。
9 在你中间不可有别的神， 外族人的神你也不可敬拜。
10 我是耶和华你的 神， 曾把你从埃及地领出来。你要大大张口， 我就要给它充满。
11 我的子民却不听我的话， 以色列不肯服从我。
12 因此， 我就任凭他们心里刚硬， 随着自己的计谋行事。
13 只要我的子民听从我， 以色列肯遵行我的道，
14 我就迅速制伏他们的仇敌， 把手转回来攻击他们的敌人。
15 憎恨耶和华的人必向他假意归顺， 他们的刑期必永无止境。
16 但我（"我"原文作"他"）必把上好的麦子给你们（"你们"原文作"他"）吃， 又用磐石里的蜂蜜使你们饱足。"
