Salmos 81

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

1 Al Músico principal: sobre Gittith: Salmo de Asaph. CANTAD á Dios, fortaleza nuestra: Al Dios de Jacob celebrad con júbilo. 2 Tomad la canción, y tañed el adufe, El arpa deliciosa con el salterio. 3 Tocad la trompeta en la nueva luna, En el día señalado, en el día de nuestra solemnidad. 4 Porque estatuto es de Israel, Ordenanza del Dios de Jacob. 5 Por testimonio en José lo ha constituído, Cuando salió por la tierra de Egipto; Donde oí lenguaje que no entendía. 6 Aparté su hombro de debajo de la carga; Sus manos se quitaron de vasijas de barro. 7 En la calamidad clamaste, y yo te libré: Te respondí en el secreto del trueno; Te probé sobre las aguas de Meriba. (Selah.) 8 Oye, pueblo mío y te protestaré. Israel, si me oyeres,

9 No habrá en ti dios ajeno, Ni te encorvarás á dios extraño.

10 Yo soy Jehová tu Dios, Que te hice subir de la tierra de Egipto: Ensancha tu boca, y henchirla he.

11 Mas mi pueblo no oyó mi voz, E Israel no me quiso á mí.

12 Dejélos por tanto á la dureza de su corazón: Caminaron en sus consejos.

13 Oh, si me hubiera oído mi pueblo, Si en mis caminos hubiera Israel andado!

14 En una nada habría yo derribado sus enemigos, Y vuelto mi mano sobre sus adversarios.

15 Los aborrecedores de Jehová se le hubieran sometido; Y el tiempo de ellos fuera para siempre.

16 Y Dios lo hubiera mantenido de grosura de trigo: Y de miel de la piedra te hubiera saciado.
