Salmos 81
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Salmo 81 (80)
Si Israel me hubiese escuchado
81 Al maestro del coro. Según la melodía de Gat. De Asaf.
2 ¡Canten a Dios, nuestro refugio,
aclamen al Dios de Jacob!
3 Entonen un canto, toquen el pandero,
la melodiosa cítara y el arpa;
4 toquen la trompeta en el novilunio,
en luna llena, el día de nuestra fiesta.
5 Porque esto es una ley para Israel,
es un mandato del Dios de Jacob,
6 una norma que impuso a José
cuando este salió de Egipto.
Oí un lenguaje que no conocía:
7 “Yo quité la carga de sus hombros,
sus manos se libraron de la espuerta.
8 En la angustia gritaste y te salvé,
te contesté oculto en la tormenta,
junto a las aguas de Meribá te probé”. [ Pausa]
9 Escucha, pueblo mío, voy a prevenirte:
¡Israel, ojalá quieras escucharme!
10 No tengas junto a ti a un dios extraño,
no rindas culto a un dios ajeno.
11 Yo soy Dios, tu Señor,
quien te sacó de la tierra de Egipto.
¡Abre tu boca y yo te saciaré!
12 Pero mi pueblo no me escuchó,
Israel no quiso nada conmigo.
13 Y yo los dejé a su antojo,
caminando según sus deseos.
14 Si mi pueblo me hubiera escuchado,
si siguiese Israel mis caminos,
15 vencería en un instante a sus rivales,
volvería mi mano contra sus enemigos.
16 Los que odian al Señor lo adularían,
sería este su destino para siempre;
17 a Israel le haría comer el mejor trigo,
lo saciaría con miel de las peñas.
Psalm 81
Legacy Standard Bible
Oh That My People Would Listen to Me
For the choir director. According to the Gittith. Of Asaph.
81 (A)Sing for joy to God our (B)strength;
Make a loud (C)shout to the (D)God of Jacob.
2 Lift up a song of praise, strike (E)the tambourine,
The sweet sounding (F)lyre with the (G)harp.
3 Blow the trumpet at the (H)new moon,
At the full moon, on our (I)feast day.
4 For it is a statute for Israel,
(J)A judgment of the God of Jacob.
5 He established it for a testimony in Joseph
When he (K)went forth over the land of Egypt.
I heard a (L)language that I did not know:
6 “I [a](M)relieved his shoulder of the burden,
His hands were freed from the [b]basket.
7 You (N)called in distress and I rescued you;
I (O)answered you in the hiding place of thunder;
I tested you at the (P)waters of Meribah. [c]Selah.
8 (Q)Hear, O My people, and I will testify against you;
O Israel, if you (R)would listen to Me!
9 Let there be no (S)strange god among you;
And you shall not worship a foreign god.
10 (T)I am Yahweh your God,
Who brought you up from the land of Egypt;
(U)Open your mouth wide and I will (V)fill it.
11 “But My people (W)did not listen to My voice,
And Israel was not willing to obey Me.
12 So I (X)released [d]them over to the stubbornness of their heart,
That they would walk in their own devices.
13 Oh that My people (Y)would listen to Me,
That Israel would (Z)walk in My ways!
14 I would quickly (AA)subdue their enemies
And I would (AB)turn My hand against their adversaries.
15 (AC)Those who hate Yahweh would (AD)cower before Him,
And their time of punishment would be forever.
16 [e]But I would feed you with the [f](AE)finest of the wheat,
And with (AF)honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
