↟↟ Psalms 81-100
Psalm 81 ↟↟
- or the conductor, on the gittith, of Asaph.
- Sing praises to the God Who is our might, sound the shofar to the God of Jacob.
- Raise [your voice in] song and give forth [with] a timbrel, a pleasant harp with a lyre.
- Sound the shofar on the New Moon, on the appointed time for the day of our festival.
- For it is a statute for Israel, the judgment of the God of Jacob.
- As a testimony for Jehoseph, He ordained it, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, [when] I understood a language that I had not known.
- I removed his shoulder from burdens, his hands were removed from the cauldron.
- In distress, you called and I released you, I answered you-[though you called] in secret- with thunder, I tried you by the waters of Meribah, forever.
- Hearken, My people, and I shall admonish you, Israel, if you hearken to Me.
- No strange god shall be within you, neither shall you prostrate yourself to a foreign god.
- I am the Lord, your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt, open your mouth wide, and I shall fill it.
- But My people did not hearken to My voice, neither did Israel desire to [follow] Me.
- So I let them go after their heart's fantasies, let them go in their counsels.
- If only My people would hearken to Me, if Israel would go in My ways.
- In a short time I would subdue their enemies and upon their enemies I would return My hand.
- The enemies of the Lord would lie to Him, and their time would be forever.
- Then He would feed them with the fat of wheat and I would sate you with honey from a rock.
Psalm 82 ↟↟
- song of Asaph. God stands in the congregation of God, in the midst of the judges He will judge.
- How long will you judge unjustly and favor the wicked forever?
- Judge the poor and orphan, justify the humble and the impoverished.
- Release the poor and the needy, save [them] from the hands of [the] wicked.
- They did not know and they do not understand [that] they will walk in darkness, all the foundations of the earth will totter.
- I said, "You are angelic creatures, and all of you are angels of the Most High."
- Indeed, as man, you will die, and as one of the princes, you will fall.
- Arise, O God, judge the earth, for You inherit all the nations.
Psalm 83 ↟↟
- psalm, a song of Asaph.
- O God, have no silence, do not be silent and do not be still, O God.
- For behold, Your enemies stir, and those who hate You raise their heads.
- Against Your people they plot cunningly, and they take counsel against Your protected ones.
- They said, "Come, let us destroy them from [being] a nation, and the name of Israel will no longer be remembered."
- For they have taken counsel with one accord, against You they form a pact.
- The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites.
- Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.
- Also Assyria joined them, they were the arm of the children of Lot forever.
- Do to them as [to] Midian, as [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin in the brook Kishon.
- They were destroyed in En-Dor, they were [as] dung on the ground.
- Make them, their nobles, as Oreb and as Zeeb, and as Zebah and as Zalmuna all their princes,
- Who said, "Let us inherit for ourselves the dwellings of God."
- My God, make them like thistles, like stubble before the wind.
- As a fire that burns in a forest and as a flame that burns mountains.
- So will You pursue them with Your tempest, and with Your whirlwind You will terrify them.
- Fill their faces with shame, and they will seek Your countenance, O Lord.
- Let them be ashamed and terrified forever, let them be disgraced and perish.
- Let them know that You-Your name alone is the Lord, Most High over all the earth.
Psalm 84 ↟↟
- or the conductor, on the gittith, of the sons of Korah, a song.
- How beloved are Your dwelling places, O Lord of Hosts.
- My soul yearns, yea, it pines for the courts of the Lord, my heart and my flesh pray fervently to the living God.
- Even a bird found a house and a swallow her nest, where she placed her chicks upon Your altars, O Lord of Hosts, my King and my God.
- Fortunate are those who stay in Your house, they will continually praise You forever.
- Fortunate is the man who has strength in You, in whose heart are the highways.
- Transgressors in the valley of weeping make it into a fountain, also with blessings they enwrap [their] Teacher.
- They go from host to host, he will appear to God in Zion.
- O Lord, God of Hosts, hearken to my prayer, bend Your ear, O God of Jacob, forever.
- See our shield, O God, and look at the face of Your anointed.
- For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand, I chose to sit on the threshold of the house of My God rather than dwell in tents of wickedness.
- For a sun and a shield is the Lord God, the Lord will give grace and glory, He will not withhold good from those who go with sincerity.
- O Lord of Hosts, fortunate is the man who trusts in You.

- Cause the soul of Your servant to rejoice, for to You, O Lord, I lift my soul.

- Lend Your ear, O Lord, to my prayer, and hearken to the voice of my supplications.
- On the day of my distress I shall call You, for You will answer me.

- For my soul is sated with troubles, and my life has reached the grave.
- I was counted with those who descend into the Pit, I was like a man without strength.
- I am considered among the dead who are free, as the slain who lie in the grave, whom You no longer remember and who were cut off by Your hand.

- Your wrath lies hard upon me, and [with] all Your waves You have afflicted [me] constantly.
- You have estranged my friends from me, You have made me an abomination to them, [I am] imprisoned and cannot go out.
- My eye has failed because of affliction, I have called You every day, I have spread out my palms to You.
- Will You perform a wonder for the dead? Will the shades rise and thank You forever?
- Will Your kindness be told in the grave, Your faith in destruction?
- Will Your wonder be known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?
- As for me, O Lord, I have cried out to You, and in the morning my prayer comes before You.
- Why, O Lord, do You abandon my soul, do You hide Your countenance from me?
- I am poor, and close to sudden death, I have borne Your fear, it is well-founded.
- Your fires of wrath have passed over me, Your terrors have cut me off.
- They surround me like water all the day, they encompass me together.
- You have estranged from me lover and friend, my acquaintances are in a place of darkness.

- I formed a covenant with My chosen one, I swore to David My servant.
- Until eternity, I shall establish your seed, and I shall build your throne for all generations forever.

- He will call to Me, 'You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.'
- I, too, shall make him a firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
- I will forever keep My kindness for him, and My covenant will remain true to him.
- And I shall make his seed endure forever, and his throne as the days of the heavens.
- If his sons forsake My Torah and do not walk in My judgments,
- If they profane My statutes and do not keep My commandments,
- I shall punish their transgression with a rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
- But I shall not cancel My kindness from him, and I shall not betray My faith.
- I shall not profane My covenant, neither shall I alter the utterance of My lips.
- One thing have I sworn by My holiness, that I will not fail David.
- His seed will be forever and his throne is like the sun before Me.
- Like the moon, which is established forever, and it is a witness in the sky, eternally true."
- But You abandoned and You rejected, You became wroth with Your anointed.
- You abrogated the covenant of Your servant, You profaned his crown to the ground.
- You breached all his fences, You made his fortifications a ruin.
- All wayfarers have plundered him, he was a disgrace to his neighbors.

- You even turned back the sharp edge of his sword, and You did not raise him up in battle.
- You have brought an end to his shining, and his throne You have cast down to earth.
- You have shortened the days of his youth, You have enwrapped him with shame forever.
- How long, O Lord? Will You hide forever? Will Your anger burn like fire?
- I am mindful what my old age is, for what futility have You created all the sons of man?
- Who is a man who will live and not see death, who will rescue his soul from the grasp of the grave forever?
- Where are Your former acts of kindness, O Lord, which You swore to David in your trust?
- Remember, O Lord, the disgrace of Your servants, which I bear in my bosom, [the disgrace] of all great nations.
- Which Your enemies disgraced, O Lord, which they disgraced the ends of Your anointed.
- Blessed is the Lord forever. Amen and Amen.
