Salmos 81

1 Cantád a Dios nuestra fortaleza: cantád con júbilo al Dios de Jacob.

To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength: make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.

2 Tomád la canción, y dad al adufe: a la arpa de alegría, con el salterio.

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

3 Tocád la trompeta en la nueva luna, en el día señalado: en el día de nuestra solemnidad.

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

4 Porque estatuto es de Israel: juicio del Dios de Jacob.

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

5 Por testimonio en José le ha constituido, cuando salió sobre la tierra de Egipto: donde oí lenguaje que no entendía.

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.

6 Quité entonces su hombro de debajo de la carga: sus manos se quitaron de las ollas.

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

7 En la angustia llamaste, y yo te libré; te respondí en el secreto del trueno; te probé sobre las aguas de Meriba. (Selah)

Thou didst call in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)

8 Oye, pueblo mío, y protestarte he: Israel, si me oyeres;

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

9 No habrá en ti dios ajeno: ni te encorvarás a dios extraño.

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

10 Yo soy Jehová tu Dios, que te hice subir de la tierra de Egipto: ensancha tu boca, y henchirla he.

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

11 Mas mi pueblo no oyó mi voz: e Israel no me quiso a mí.

But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would not obey me.

12 Y dejélos a la dureza de su corazón; caminaron en sus consejos.

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

13 ¡O si mi pueblo me oyera, si Israel anduviera en mis caminos!

O that my people had hearkened to me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

14 En nada derribara yo a sus enemigos: y volviera mi mano sobre sus adversarios.

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

15 Los aborrecedores de Jehová le hubieran mentido: y el tiempo de ellos fuera para siempre.

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

16 Y Dios le hubiera mantenido de grosura de trigo: y de miel de la piedra te hubiera hartado.

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