圣咏集 81

1Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for Asaph himself.

2Rejoice to God our helper: sing aloud to the God of Jacob.

3Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: the pleasant psaltery with the harp.

4Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, on the noted day of your solemnity.

5For it is a commandment in Israel, and a judgment to the God of Jacob.

6He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: he heard a tongue which he knew not.

7He removed his back from the burdens: his hands had served in baskets.

8Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.

9Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me,

10There shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.

11For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

12But my people heard not my voice: and Israel hearkened not to me.

13So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: they shall walk in their own inventions.

14If my people had heard me: if Israel had walked in my ways:

15I should soon have humbled their enemies, and laid my hand on them that troubled them.

16The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: and their time shall be for ever.

17And he fed them with the fat of wheat, and filled them with honey out of the rock.

1In finem, pro torcularibus. Psalmus ipsi Asaph.

2[Exsultate Deo adjutori nostro; jubilate Deo Jacob.

3Sumite psalmum, et date tympanum; psalterium jucundum cum cithara.

4Buccinate in neomenia tuba, in insigni die solemnitatis vestræ:

5quia præceptum in Israël est, et judicium Deo Jacob.

6Testimonium in Joseph posuit illud, cum exiret de terra Ægypti; linguam quam non noverat, audivit.

7Divertit ab oneribus dorsum ejus; manus ejus in cophino servierunt.

8In tribulatione invocasti me, et liberavi te. Exaudivi te in abscondito tempestatis; probavi te apud aquam contradictionis.

9Audi, populus meus, et contestabor te. Israël, si audieris me,

10non erit in te deus recens, neque adorabis deum alienum.

11Ego enim sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de terra Ægypti. Dilata os tuum, et implebo illud.

12Et non audivit populus meus vocem meam, et Israël non intendit mihi.

13Et dimisi eos secundum desideria cordis eorum; ibunt in adinventionibus suis.

14Si populus meus audisset me, Israël si in viis meis ambulasset,

15pro nihilo forsitan inimicos eorum humiliassem, et super tribulantes eos misissem manum meam.

16Inimici Domini mentiti sunt ei, et erit tempus eorum in sæcula.

17Et cibavit eos ex adipe frumenti, et de petra melle saturavit eos.]

1Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm of Asaph himself.

2Exult before God our helper. Sing joyfully to the God of Jacob.

3Take up a psalm, and bring forth the timbrel: a pleasing Psalter with stringed instruments.

4Sound the trumpet at the new moon, on the noteworthy day of your solemnity,

5for it is a precept in Israel and a judgment for the God of Jacob.

6He set it as a testimony with Joseph, when he went out of the land of Egypt. He heard a tongue that he did not know.

7He turned the burdens away from his back. His hands had been a slave to baskets.

8You called upon me in tribulation, and I freed you. I heard you within the hidden tempest. I tested you with waters of contradiction.

9My people, listen and I will call you to testify. If, O Israel, you will pay heed to me,

10then there will be no new god among you, nor will you adore a foreign god.

11For I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt. Widen your mouth, and I will fill it.

12But my people did not hear my voice, and Israel was not attentive to me.

13And so, I sent them away, according to the desires of their heart. They will go forth according to their own inventions.

14If my people had heard me, if Israel had walked in my ways,

15I would have humbled their enemies, as if it were nothing, and I would have sent my hand upon those who troubled them.

16The enemies of the Lord have lied to him, and their time will come, in every age.

17And he fed them from the fat of the grain, and he saturated them with honey from the rock.
