Tehillim 81:6-13 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

6. (7) I removed his shekhem (shoulder) from the burden; his hands were delivered from the basket.

7. (8) 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.

8. (9) Shema, O My people, and I will admonish thee; O Yisroel, if thou wilt pay heed unto Me;

9. (10) There shall no el zar (strange, foreign g-d) be among thee; neither shalt thou worship any el nechar (foreign g-d).

10. (11) I am Hashem Eloheicha Who brought thee out of Eretz Mitzrayim; open thy mouth wide, I will fill it.

11. (12) But My people would not pay heed to My voice; and Yisroel would have none of Me.

12. (13) So I gave them up unto their own hearts' sherirut (stubbornness); and they walked in their own mo'atzot (counsels).

13. (14) Oh that My people had paid heed unto Me, and Yisroel had walked in My ways!
