Tehillim 81 - Chapter 81 - Psalm 81

Lamnatsêach al haguitit leassaf
Harnínu lelohim uzênu haríu lelohe Iaacov
Seú zimra utnu tof, kinor naim im nável
Tic’ú vachodesh shofar, bakésse leiom chaguênu
Ki choc leyisrael hu, mishpat lelohê Iaacov
Edut bihossef samó betseto al érets Mitsráyim, sefat lo iadáti eshma
Hassirôti missével shichmo, capav midud taavórna
Batsara caráta vaachaletsêca, eenchá besséter ráam, evchonchá al mê meriva, sêla
Shema ami veaída bach, Yisrael im tishma li
Lo yihie vecha el zar, velo tishtachave leel nechar
Anochi Adonai Elohêcha hamaalchá meérets Mitsráyim, harchev pícha vaamal’êhu
Velo shama ami lecoli, veyisrael lo áva li
Vaashalechêhu bishrirut libam, ielechu bemoatsotehem

Kim’at oievehem achnía veal tsarehem ashiv iadi
Messaneê Adonai iecháchashu lo, vihi itam leolam
Vaiaachilêhu mechélev chitá, umitsur devash asbiêca

1. To the chief Musician, according to Gittit, A Psalm of Asaph.
2. Sing aloud to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
3. Raise a song, and beat the tambourine, the sweet lyre with the harp.
4. Blow a shofar at the new moon, at the full moon on our feast day.
5. For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
6. This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt. I heard the language of one whom I had not known,.
7. Saying, I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands are freed from the basket.
8. You called in trouble, and I saved you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
9. Hear, O my people, and I will warn you, O Israel, if you will listen to me:.
10. There shall be no strange god among you; nor shall you worship any foreign god.
11. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
12. But my people would not listen to my voice; and Israel would have none of me.
13. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, and they walked in their own counsels.
14. Oh that my people would listen to me, and that Israel would walk in my ways!.
15. I should soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
16. Let the haters of the Lord cringe before him, and their punishment should last for ever.
17. And he would feed him with the finest of the wheat; and I would satisfy you with honey from the rock.

For Help In Difficult Times, To fortify one's faith and resist outside temptations
