Psalm 81 – Studienbibel

1 To the chief Musician5329 upon Gittith1665, A Psalm of Asaph623. Sing aloud7442 unto God430 our strength5797: make a joyful noise7321 unto the God430 of Jacob3290.¹ 2 Take5375 a psalm2172, and bring5414 hither the timbrel8596, the pleasant5273 harp3658 with the psaltery5035. 3 Blow up8628 the trumpet7782 in the new moon2320, in the time appointed3677, on our solemn feast2282 day3117. 4 For this was a statute2706 for Israel3478, and a law4941 of the God430 of Jacob3290. 5 This he ordained7760 in Joseph3084 for a testimony5715, when he went out3318 through the land776 of Egypt4714: where I heard8085 a language8193 that I understood3045 not.² 6 I removed5493 his shoulder7926 from the burden5447: his hands3709 were delivered5674 from the pots1731.³ 7 Thou calledst7121 in trouble6869, and I delivered2502 thee; I answered6030 thee in the secret place5643 of thunder7482: I proved974 thee at the waters4325 of Meribah4809. Selah5542.⁴

8 Hear8085, O my people5971, and I will testify5749 unto thee: O Israel3478, if thou wilt hearken8085 unto me; 9 There shall no strange2114 god410 be in thee; neither shalt thou worship7812 any strange5236 god410. 10 I am the LORD3068 thy God430, which brought5927 thee out of the land776 of Egypt4714: open thy mouth6310 wide7337, and I will fill4390 it. 11 But my people5971 would not hearken8085 to my voice6963; and Israel3478 would14 none of me. 12 So I gave them up7971 unto their own hearts'3820 lust8307: and they walked3212 in their own counsels4156.⁵ 13 Oh3863 that my people5971 had hearkened8085 unto me, and Israel3478 had walked1980 in my ways1870! 14 I should soon4592 have subdued3665 their enemies341, and turned7725 my hand3027 against their adversaries6862. 15 The haters8130 of the LORD3068 should have submitted3584 themselves unto him: but their time6256 should have endured for ever5769.⁶ 16 He should have fed398 them also with the finest2459 of the wheat2406: and with honey1706 out of the rock6697 should I have satisfied7646 thee.⁷
