亚萨的诗，交给诗班长，用"迦特"的乐器。 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，

又用盘石里的蜂蜜使你们饱足。"

To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of Asaph.

1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.*81.1 of Asaph: or, for Asaph

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

3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.*81.5 through: or, against

6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.*81.6 were…: Heb. passed away

7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.*81.7 Meribah: or, Strife

8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.*81.12 unto…: or, to the hardness of their hearts, or, imagination

13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

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

15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.*81.15 submitted…: or, yielded feigned obedience: Heb. lied

16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.*81.16 finest…: Heb. fat of wheat
