Salmos 81
La Biblia de las Américas
Bondad de Dios y desobediencia de Israel
Para el director del coro; sobre[a] Gitit. Salmo de Asaf.
81 Cantad con gozo a Dios(A), fortaleza nuestra(B);
aclamad con júbilo(C) al Dios de Jacob(D).
2 Entonad canto de alabanza, y tocad el pandero(E),
la melodiosa lira(F) con el arpa(G).
3 Tocad la trompeta en la luna nueva(H),
en la luna llena, en el día de nuestra fiesta(I).
4 Porque es estatuto para Israel,
ordenanza del Dios de Jacob.
5 Él lo estableció por testimonio en José,
cuando salió sobre la tierra de Egipto(J).
Un lenguaje que yo no conocía, oí(K):
6 Yo libré[b] su hombro de la carga(L),
sus manos[c] se libraron de las canastas[d].
7 En la angustia llamaste(M), y yo te rescaté;
te respondí en el escondite del trueno(N);
en las aguas de Meriba(O) te probé. (Selah[e])
8 Oye, pueblo mío(P), y te amonestaré.
¡Oh Israel, si tú me oyeras(Q)!
9 No haya en ti dios ajeno(R),
ni adores a dios extranjero.
10 Yo, el Señor, soy tu Dios(S),
que te saqué de la tierra de Egipto;
abre bien tu boca(T) y la llenaré(U).
11 Pero mi pueblo no escuchó mi voz(V);
Israel no me obedeció[f](W).
12 Por eso los[g] entregué(X) a la dureza de su corazón,
para que anduvieran en sus propias intrigas.
13 ¡Oh, si mi pueblo me oyera(Y),
si Israel anduviera en mis caminos(Z)!
14 En un momento yo subyugaría a sus enemigos(AA)
y volvería mi mano(AB) contra sus adversarios.
15 Los que aborrecen al Señor le fingirían obediencia(AC),
y el tiempo de su castigo sería para siempre.
16 Pero yo te[h] alimentaría con lo mejor[i] del trigo(AD),
y con miel de la peña te saciaría(AE).

Psalm 81
English Standard Version
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!
2 Raise a song; sound (E)the tambourine,
(F)the sweet lyre with (G)the harp.
3 Blow the trumpet at (H)the new moon,
at the full moon, on our feast day.
4 For it is a statute for Israel,
a rule[b] of the God of Jacob.
5 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:
6 “I (N)relieved your[d] shoulder of (O)the burden;
your hands were freed from the basket.
7 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
8 (S)Hear, O my people, while I admonish you!
O Israel, if you would but listen to me!
9 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.”
