Awit sa Araw ng Kapistahan

Katha ni Asaf upang awitin ng Punong Mang-aawit: ayon sa Gittith.[a]

81 Masiglang awitan ang Tagapagligtas, itong Diyos ni Jacob, awitang may galak.
Umawit sa saliw ng mga tamburin,
    kasabay ng tugtog ng lira at alpa.
Hipan(A) ang trumpeta tuwing nagdiriwang,
    kung buwan ay bago't nasa kabilugan.
Pagkat sa Israel, ito'y isang utos,
    batas na ginawa ng Diyos ni Jacob.
Sa mga hinirang, ang utos di'y ito
    nang sila'y ilabas sa bansang Egipto.

Ganito ang wika na aking narinig:
“Mabigat mong dala'y aking inaalis,
    ikaw ay iibsan sa pasan mong labis.
Iniligtas(B) kita sa gitna ng hirap, sinaklolohan ka nang ika'y tumawag;
    tinugon din kita sa gitna ng kidlat,
    at sinubok kita sa Batis Meriba. (Selah)[b]
Kapag nangungusap, ako'y inyong dinggin,
    sana'y makinig ka, O bansang Israel.
Ang(C) diyus-diyosa'y huwag mong paglingkuran, diyos ng ibang bansa'y di dapat yukuran.
10 Ako ay si Yahweh, ako ang Diyos mo,
    ako ang tumubos sa iyo sa Egipto;
pagkaing gustuhin ibibigay ko sa iyo.

11 “Ngunit ang bayan ko'y hindi ako pansin,
    di ako sinunod ng bayang Israel,
12 sa tigas ng puso, aking hinayaang
    ang sarili nilang gusto'y siyang sundan.
13 Ang tangi kong hangad, sana ako'y sundin,
    sundin ang utos ko ng bayang Israel;
14 ang kaaway nila'y aking lulupigin,
    lahat ng kaaway agad lilipulin.
15 Silang namumuhi't sa aki'y napopoot, ay magsisiyuko sa laki ng takot,
    ang parusa nila'y walang pagkatapos.
16 Ngunit ang mabuting bunga nitong trigo, ang siyang sa inyo'y ipapakain ko;
    at ang gusto ninyong masarap na pulot, ang siyang sa inyo'y aking idudulot.”

An Appeal for Israel’s Repentance

To the Chief Musician. (A)On[a] an instrument of Gath. A Psalm of Asaph.

81 Sing aloud to God our strength;
Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob.
Raise a song and strike the timbrel,
The pleasant harp with the lute.

Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon,
At the full moon, on our solemn feast day.
For (B)this is a statute for Israel,
A law of the God of Jacob.
This He established in Joseph as a testimony,
When He went throughout the land of Egypt,
(C)Where I heard a language I did not understand.

“I removed his shoulder from the burden;
His hands were freed from the baskets.
(D)You called in trouble, and I delivered you;
(E)I answered you in the secret place of thunder;
I (F)tested you at the waters of [b]Meribah. Selah

“Hear,(G) O My people, and I will admonish you!
O Israel, if you will listen to Me!
There shall be no (H)foreign god among you;
Nor shall you worship any foreign god.
10 (I)I am the Lord your God,
Who brought you out of the land of Egypt;
(J)Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 “But My people would not heed My voice,
And Israel would have (K)none of Me.
12 (L)So I gave them over to [c]their own stubborn heart,
To walk in their own counsels.

13 “Oh,(M) that My people would listen to Me,
That Israel would walk in My ways!
14 I would soon subdue their enemies,
And turn My hand against their adversaries.
15 (N)The haters of the Lord would pretend submission to Him,
But their [d]fate would endure forever.
16 He would (O)have fed them also with [e]the finest of wheat;
And with honey (P)from the rock I would have satisfied you.”

Oh, That My People Would Listen to Me

To the choirmaster: according to (A)The Gittith.[a] Of (B)Asaph.

81 (C)Sing aloud to God our strength;
    (D)shout for joy to the God of Jacob!
Raise a song; sound (E)the tambourine,
    (F)the sweet lyre with (G)the harp.
Blow the trumpet at (H)the new moon,
    at the full moon, on our feast day.

For it is a statute for Israel,
    a rule[b] of the God of Jacob.
He made it (I)a decree in (J)Joseph
    when he (K)went out over[c] the land of Egypt.
(L)I hear a language (M)I had not known:
“I (N)relieved your[d] shoulder of (O)the burden;
    your hands were freed from the basket.
In distress you (P)called, and I delivered you;
    I (Q)answered you in the secret place of thunder;
    I (R)tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
(S)Hear, O my people, while I admonish you!
    O Israel, if you would but listen to me!
There shall be no (T)strange god among you;
    you shall not bow down to a (U)foreign god.
10 (V)I am the Lord your God,
    who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
    (W)Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 “But my people did not listen to my voice;
    Israel (X)would not submit to me.
12 So I (Y)gave them over to their (Z)stubborn hearts,
    to follow their own (AA)counsels.
13 (AB)Oh, that my people would listen to me,
    that Israel would (AC)walk in my ways!
14 I would soon subdue their enemies
    and (AD)turn my hand against their foes.
15 Those who hate the Lord would (AE)cringe toward him,
    and their fate would last forever.
16 But he would feed you[e] with (AF)the finest of the wheat,
    and with (AG)honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”

Psalm 81[a]

For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] Of Asaph.

Sing for joy to God our strength;
    shout aloud to the God of Jacob!(A)
Begin the music, strike the timbrel,(B)
    play the melodious harp(C) and lyre.(D)

Sound the ram’s horn(E) at the New Moon,(F)
    and when the moon is full, on the day of our festival;
this is a decree for Israel,
    an ordinance of the God of Jacob.(G)
When God went out against Egypt,(H)
    he established it as a statute for Joseph.

I heard an unknown voice say:(I)

“I removed the burden(J) from their shoulders;(K)
    their hands were set free from the basket.
In your distress you called(L) and I rescued you,
    I answered(M) you out of a thundercloud;
    I tested you at the waters of Meribah.[c](N)
Hear me, my people,(O) and I will warn you—
    if you would only listen to me, Israel!
You shall have no foreign god(P) among you;
    you shall not worship any god other than me.
10 I am the Lord your God,
    who brought you up out of Egypt.(Q)
Open(R) wide your mouth and I will fill(S) it.

11 “But my people would not listen to me;
    Israel would not submit to me.(T)
12 So I gave them over(U) to their stubborn hearts
    to follow their own devices.

13 “If my people would only listen to me,(V)
    if Israel would only follow my ways,
14 how quickly I would subdue(W) their enemies
    and turn my hand against(X) their foes!
15 Those who hate the Lord would cringe(Y) before him,
    and their punishment would last forever.
16 But you would be fed with the finest of wheat;(Z)
    with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
