Chapter 81

¹For the choir director; on the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; Shout joyfully to the God of Jacob.

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！

²Raise a song, strike the timbrel, The sweet sounding lyre with the harp.

²唱起詩歌，打手鼓，彈美琴與瑟。

³Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast day.

³當在月朔並月望─我們過節的日期吹角，

⁴For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

⁴因這是為以色列定的律例，是雅各神的典章。

⁵He established it for a testimony in Joseph When he went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard a language that I did not know:

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：

⁶'I relieved his shoulder of the burden, His hands were freed from the basket.

⁶神說：我使你的肩得脫重擔，你的手放下筐子。

⁷'You called in trouble and I rescued you; I answered you in the hiding place of thunder; I proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

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）

⁸'Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you; O Israel, if you would listen to Me!

⁸我的民哪，你當聽，我要勸戒你；以色列啊，甚願你肯聽從我。

⁹'Let there be no strange god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god.

⁹在你當中，不可有別的神；外邦的神，你也不可下拜。

¹⁰'I, the LORD, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

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。

¹¹'But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel did not obey Me.

¹¹無奈，我的民不聽我的聲音；以色列全不理我。

¹²'So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart, To walk in their own devices.

¹²我便任憑他們心裡剛硬，隨自己的計謀而行。

¹³'Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!

¹³甚願我的民肯聽從我，以色列肯行我的道，

¹⁴'I would quickly subdue their enemies And turn My hand against their adversaries.

¹⁴我便速速治服他們的仇敵，反手攻擊他們的敵人。

¹⁵'Those who hate the LORD would pretend obedience to Him, And their time [of punishment] would be forever.

¹⁵恨耶和華的人必來投降，但他的百姓必永久長存。

¹⁶'But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.'

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。
