Tehillim 81

²Sing with joy unto Elohim uzeinu (our strength) ;

make a joyful noise unto Elohei Ya'akov.

³Begin a song, and bring hither the tambourine,

the pleasant kinnor (harp) with the nevel (lyre) .

⁴Blow the shofar at Rosh Chodesh,

at the full moon, on Yom Chageinu.

⁵For this was a chok for Yisroel,

and a mishpat of the Elohei Ya'akov.

⁶This He ordained in Yosef for an edut,

when He went out over Eretz Mitzrayim;

where a language of one not known did I hear.

⁷I removed his shekhem (shoulder) from the burden;

his hands were delivered from the basket.

⁸In tzoros thou calledst, and I delivered thee;

I answered thee in the seter ra'am (secret place of thunder) ;

I tested thee at the waters of Merivah. Selah

⁹Shema, O My people, and I will admonish thee;

O Yisroel, if thou wilt pay heed unto Me;

¹⁰There shall no el zar (strange, foreign g-d) be among thee;

neither shalt thou worship any el nechar (foreign g-d) .

¹¹I am Hashem Eloheicha

Who brought thee out of Eretz Mitzrayim;

open thy mouth wide, I will fill it.

¹²But My people would not pay heed to My voice;

and Yisroel would have none of Me.

¹³So I gave them up

unto their own heartsʼ sherirut (stubbornness) ;

and they walked in their own mo'atzot (counsels) .

¹⁴Oh that My people had paid heed unto Me,

and Yisroel had walked in My ways!

¹⁵I should soon have subdued their oyevim

and turned My Yad (hand, power) against their adversaries.

¹⁶The haters of Hashem should have cringed before Him;

their et (time, fate, punishment) endures l'olam.

¹⁷He would have fed them also with the finest of the chittah (wheat) ;

and with devash (honey) from the Tzur would I have satisfied thee.
