An Appeal for Israel’s Repentance
To the Chief Musician. ⚓On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm of Asaph.
Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob.
2Raise a song and strike the timbrel,
The pleasant harp with the lute.
3Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon,
At the full moon, on our solemn feast day.
4For ⚓this is a statute for Israel,
A law of the God of Jacob.
5This He established in Joseph as a testimony,
When He went throughout the land of Egypt,
⚓Where I heard a language I did not understand.
6“I removed his shoulder from the burden;
His hands were freed from the baskets.
7⚓You called in trouble, and I delivered you;
⚓I answered you in the secret place of thunder;
I ⚓tested you at the waters of Meribah.
Selah
8“Hear,⚓ O My people, and I will admonish you!
O Israel, if you will listen to Me!
9There shall be no ⚓foreign god among you;
Nor shall you worship any foreign god.
10⚓I am the Lord your God,
Who brought you out of the land of Egypt;
⚓Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11“But My people would not heed My voice,
And Israel would have⚓none of Me.
12⚓So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart,
To walk in their own counsels.
13“Oh,⚓ that My people would listen to Me,
That Israel would walk in My ways!
14I would soon subdue their enemies,
And turn My hand against their adversaries.
15⚓The haters of the Lord would pretend submission to Him,
But their fate would endure forever.
16He would ⚓have fed them also with the finest of wheat;
And with honey ⚓from the rock I would have satisfied you.”

亚萨的诗。交给圣咏团长，用迦特乐器。劝戒以色列的刚愎
1你们当向上帝－我们的力量大声歌唱，
向雅各的上帝欢呼！
2高唱诗歌，击打手鼓，
弹奏悦耳的琴瑟。
3当在新月和满月－
我们过节的日期吹角，
4因这是为以色列所定的律例，
是雅各上帝的典章。
5他攻击埃及地的时候，
曾立此为约瑟的法度。
我听见我所不明白的语言：
6“我使你⚓的肩头得脱重担，
使你的手放下筐子。
7你在急难中呼求，我就搭救你，
在雷的隐密处应允你，
在米利巴水那里考验你。（细拉）
8听啊，我的子民，我要劝戒你；
以色列啊，我真愿你肯听从我。
9在你当中，不可有外族的神明；
外邦的神明，你也不可下拜。
10我是耶和华－你的上帝，
曾将你从埃及地领上来；
你要大大张口，我就使你满足。
11“无奈，我的子民不听我的声音，
以色列不肯听从我。
12我就任凭他们心里顽梗，
随自己的计谋而行。
13我的子民若肯听从我，
以色列肯行我的道，
14我就速速制伏他们的仇敌，
反手攻击他们的敌人。
15恨耶和华的人必来投降，
愿他们的厄运直到永远。
16他必拿上好的麦子给以色列⚓吃，
又拿磐石出的蜂蜜使你饱足。 ”
