Psalms 81:1-14 in American Standard Version (1901)

1 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength: Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2 Raise a song, and bring hither the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast-day.
4 For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5 He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, Where I heard a language that I knew not.
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket.
7 Thou calledst 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 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; Neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
10 I am Jehovah thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me.
12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels.
13 Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!
14 I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries.

Psalms 81:1-14 in Brenton Septuagint Translation

1 A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst of them will judge gods.
2 How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? Pause.
3 Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.
4 Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.
5 They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you children of the Most High.
7 But ye die as men, and fall as one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

Psalms 81:1-14 in Translation for Translators

1 Sing songs to praise God, who enables us to be strong when we fight our enemies; shout joyfully to God, whom we ◄descendants of Jacob/Israeli people► worship!
2 Start playing the music, and beat the tambourines, and play nice music on the harps and ◄lyres/other stringed instruments►.
3 Blow the trumpets during the festival to celebrate each new moon and each time the moon is full and during our other festivals.
4 Do that because that is a law for us Israeli people; God commanded it for us descendants of Jacob.
5 He commanded us Israeli people to obey it when he punished the people of Egypt. I heard someone MTY whose voice I did not recognize, saying,
6 “ After the rulers of Egypt forced you Israelis to work as slaves, I took those heavy burdens off your backs, and I enabled you to lay down those heavy baskets of bricks that you were carrying.
7 When you were greatly distressed, you called out to me, and I rescued you; I answered you out of a thundercloud. Later I tested whether you would trust me to give you water when you were in the desert at Meribah.
8 You who are my people, listen while I warn you! I wish that you Israeli people would pay attention to what I say to you!
9 You must not have any idols of other gods among you; you must never bow to worship any of them!
10 I am Yahweh, your God; It was not any of those other gods who brought you out of Egypt, I am the one who did it! So ask me what you want me to do for you MTY, and I will do it.
11 But my people would not listen to me SYN; they would not obey me.
12 So even though they were very stubborn, I allowed them to do whatever they wanted to do.
13 I wish that my people would listen to me, that the Israeli people would behave as I want them to do.
14 If they did that, I would quickly defeat their enemies; I would strike/punish all of them DOU.

Psalms 81:1-14 in Bible in Basic English

1 To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith. Of Asaph. Make a song to God our strength: make a glad cry to the God of Jacob.
2 Take up the melody, playing on an instrument of music, even on corded instruments.
3 Let the horn be sounded in the time of the new moon, at the full moon, on our holy feast-day:
4 For this is a rule for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
5 He gave it to Joseph as a witness, when he went out over the land of Egypt; then the words of a strange tongue were sounding in my ears.
6 I took the weight from his back; his hands were made free from the baskets.
7 You gave a cry in your trouble, and I made you free; I gave you an answer in the secret place of the thunder; I put you to the test at the waters of Meribah. (Selah.)
8 Give ear, O my people, and I will give you my word, O Israel, if you will only do as I say!
9 There is to be no strange god among you; you are not to give worship to any other god.
10 I am the Lord your God, who took you up from the land of Egypt: let your mouth be open wide, so that I may give you food.
11 But my people did not give ear to my voice; Israel would have nothing to do with me.
12 So I gave them up to the desires of their hearts; that they might go after their evil purposes.
13 If only my people would give ear to me, walking in my ways!
14 I would quickly overcome their haters: my hand would be turned against those who make war on them.

7 At your call of distress I delivered you, from the thundercloud I answered you. At Meribah's waters I tested you. Selah
8 “Listen, my people, to my warning, O Israel, if you would but listen!
9 There must not be a strange god amongst you, you must bow to no foreign god.

5 He issued it as a regulation in Joseph when he went against the land of Egypt, where I heard a voice that I did not recognize:

7 In your distress you called out, and I helped you; I answered you from a dark thundercloud. I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah

Psalms 81:1-14 in Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

1 To the overcomer, on the pressers or wine presses, the psalm of Asaph. Make ye fully joy or Full out joyeth to God, our helper; sing ye heartily to God of Jacob.
2 Take ye a psalm, and give ye a tympan; a merry psaltery with an harp.
3 Blow ye with a trump in the new moon; in the noble day of your solemnity.
4 For why commandment is in Israel; and doom is to God of Jacob.
5 He setted or put that witnessing in Joseph; when he went out of the land of Egypt, he heard a language, that he knew not.
6 He turned away his back from burdens; his hands served in a coffin.
7 In tribulation thou inwardly called-est me, and I delivered thee; I heard thee in the hid place of tempest, I proved thee at the waters of against-saying.
8 My people, hear thou me, and I shall be witness against thee; Israel, if thou hearest me,
9 a fresh God shall not be in thee; and thou shalt not worship an alien god.
10 For I am thy Lord God, that led thee out of the land of Egypt; make large thy mouth, and I shall fill it.
11 And my people heard not my voice; and Israel gave not attention to me.
12 And I let them go after the desires of their heart; they shall go in their findings.
13 If my people had heard me; if Israel had gone in my ways.
14 For not in hap I had made low their enemies; and I had sent mine hand on men doing tribulation to them.

Psalms 81:1-14 in Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling (Enhanced)

1 To the overcomer, on the pressers, the psalm of Asaph. Make ye fully joy to God, our helper; sing ye heartily to God of Jacob. (For the choirmaster, on the gittith, a song by Asaph. Make ye full out joy to God, our helper; sing ye heartily to the God of Jacob.)
2 Take ye a psalm, and give ye a tympan; a merry psaltery with an harp. (Give ye a song, and take ye a drum, or a tambourine; and a merry lute, and a harp.)
3 Blow ye with a trump in the new moon; in the noble day of your solemnity. (Blow ye with a trumpet for the new moon; yea, on the noble day of our solemn feast.)
4 For why (this) commandment is in Israel; and doom is to God of Jacob. (For this is a law in Israel; and this ordinance is from the God of Jacob.)
5 He setted that witnessing in Joseph; when he went out of the land of Egypt, he heard a language, that he knew not. (He put that command on Joseph; when he went out of the land of Egypt. And I heard a language, that I knew not.)
6 He turned away his back from burdens; his hands served in a coffin. (And the Lord said, I took away the burdens from off his back; his hands were delivered from having to carry the baskets.)
7 In tribulation thou inwardly calledest me, and I delivered thee; I heard thee in the hid place of tempest, I proved thee at the water(s) of against-saying. (In trouble thou calledest to me, and I saved thee; I answered thee from my hidden place in the tempest, and I proved thee at the waters of Meribah.)
8 My people, hear thou me, and I shall be witness against thee; Israel, if thou hearest me, (My people, hear thou me, and I shall witness to thee; Israel, if thou wouldest but listen to me,)
9 a fresh God shall not be in thee; and thou shalt not worship an alien god. (there shall be no new god for thee; and thou shalt never worship any foreign, or strange, god.)
10 For I am thy Lord God, that led thee out of the land of Egypt; make large thy mouth, and I shall fill it. (For I am the Lord thy God, who led thee out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I shall fill it.)
11 And my people heard not my voice; and Israel gave not attention to me. (But my people would not listen to my voice; yea, Israel would not give their attention to me.)
12 And I let go them after the desires of their heart; they shall go in their findings. (So I let them go after the desires of their hearts; and they went forth in their own ways.)
13 If my people had heard me; if Israel had gone in my ways. (If my people would but listen to me; if Israel would just follow my ways,)
14 For not in hap I had made low their enemies; and I had sent mine hand on men doing tribulation to them. (then I would bring down their enemies; and I would send forth my hand against those who give them trouble.)

Psalms 81:1-14 in Young's Literal Translation

1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Gittith.' By Asaph. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.
2 Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with psaltery.
3 Blow in the month a trumpet, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,
4 For a statute to Israel it is, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5 A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known — I hear.
6 From the burden his shoulder I turned aside, His hands from the basket pass over.
7 In distress thou hast called and I deliver thee, I answer thee in the secret place of thunder, I try thee by the waters of Meribah. Selah.
8 Hear, O My people, and I testify to thee, O Israel, if thou dost hearken to me:
9 There is not in thee a strange god, And thou bowest not thyself to a strange god.
10 I am Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it.
11 But, My people hearkened not to My voice, And Israel hath not consented to Me.
12 And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.
13 O that My people were hearkening to Me, Israel in My ways would walk.
14 As a little thing their enemies I cause to bow, And against their adversaries I turn back My hand,
