Psalms 81

Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

（亚萨的诗，交与伶长。用迦特乐器。）你们当向　神─我们的力量大声欢呼，向雅各的　神发声欢乐！

Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

唱起诗歌，打手鼓，弹美琴与瑟。

Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

当在月朔并月望─我们过节的日期吹角，

For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

因这是为以色列定的律例，是雅各　神的典章。

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.

他去攻击埃及地的时候，在约瑟中间立此为证。我在那里听见我所不明白的言语：

I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.

　神说：我使你的肩得脱重担，你的手放下筐子。

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.

你在急难中呼求，我就搭救你；我在雷的隐密处应允你，在米利巴水那里试验你。（细拉）

Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

我的民哪，你当听，我要劝戒你；以色列啊，甚愿你肯听从我。

There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

在你当中，不可有别的神；外邦的神，你也不可下拜。

I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

我是耶和华─你的　神，曾把你从埃及地领上来；你要大大张口，我就给你充满。

But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

无奈，我的民不听我的声音；以色列全不理我。

So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

我便任凭他们心里刚硬，随自己的计谋而行。

Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

甚愿我的民肯听从我，以色列肯行我的道，

I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

我便速速治服他们的仇敌，反手攻击他们的敌人。

The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

恨耶和华的人必来投降，但他的百姓必永久长存。

He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

他也必拿上好的麦子给他们吃，又拿从磐石出的蜂蜜叫他们饱足。
