詩篇 第 81 篇

¹（亞薩的詩，交與伶長。用迦特樂器。）你們當向神─我們的力量大聲歡呼，向雅各的神發聲歡樂！Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

²唱起詩歌，打手鼓，彈美琴與瑟。Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

³當在月朔並月望─我們過節的日期吹角，Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

⁴因這是為以色列定的律例，是雅各神的典章。For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

⁵他去攻擊埃及地的時候，在約瑟中間立此為證。我在那裡聽見我所不明白的言語：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.

⁶神說：我使你的肩得脫重擔，你的手放下筐子。I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.

⁷你在急難中呼求，我就搭救你；我在雷的隱密處應允你，在米利巴水那裡試驗你。（細拉）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.

⁸我的民哪，你當聽，我要勸戒你；以色列啊，甚願你肯聽從我。Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

⁹在你當中，不可有別的神；外邦的神，你也不可下拜。There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

¹⁰我是耶和華─你的神，曾把你從埃及地領上來；你要大大張口，我就給你充滿。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無奈，我的民不聽我的聲音；以色列全不理我。But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

¹²我便任憑他們心裡剛硬，隨自己的計謀而行。So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

¹³甚願我的民肯聽從我，以色列肯行我的道，Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

¹⁴我便速速治服他們的仇敵，反手攻擊他們的敵人。I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

¹⁵恨耶和華的人必來投降，但他的百姓必永久長存。The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

¹⁶他也必拿上好的麥子給他們吃，又拿從磐石出的蜂蜜叫他們飽足。He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
