TEHILLIM.
Chapter 81.
(For the one directing. On the gittis. Of Asaph) 
Sing with joy unto Elohim uzeinu (our strength); make a joyful noise unto Elohei Ya'akov. 
Begin a song, and bring hither the tambourine, the pleasant kinnor (harp) with the nevel (lyre). 
Blow the shofar at Rosh Chodesh, at the full moon, on Yom Chageinu. 
For this was a chok for Yisroel, and a mishpat of the Elohei Ya'akov. 
This He ordained in Yosef for an edut, when He went out over Eretz Mitzrayim; where a language of one not known did I hear. 
I removed his shekhem (shoulder) from the burden; his hands were delivered from the basket. 
In tzoros thou calledst, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the seter ra'am (secret place of thunder); I tested thee at the waters of Merivah. Selah 
Shema, O My people, and I will admonish thee; O Yisroel, if thou wilt pay heed unto Me; 
There shall no el zar (strange, foreign g-d) be among thee; neither shalt thou worship any el nechar (foreign g-d). 
I am Hashem Eloheicha Who brought thee out of Eretz Mitzrayim; open thy mouth wide, I will fill it. 
But My people would not pay heed to My voice; and Yisroel would have none of Me. 
So I gave them up unto their own heartsʼ sherirut (stubbornness); and they walked in their own mo'atzot (counsels). 
Oh that My people had paid heed unto Me, and Yisroel had walked in My ways! 
I should soon have subdued their oyevim and turned My Yad (hand, power) against their adversaries. 
The haters of Hashem should have cringed before Him; their et (time, fate, punishment) endures l'olam. 
He would have fed them also with the finest of the chittah (wheat); and with devash (honey) from the Tzur would I have satisfied thee.
