Psalm 80 (Septuagint) = Psalm 81 (KJV)
Introduction
This entry meets the strict three-criteria standard of the Theosis Library, with the manuscript text drawn directly from the same source as the scan:
- Manuscript scan: The actual folio of Codex Sinaiticus containing this passage, from the Codex Sinaiticus Project (codexsinaiticus.org). Library folio reference: 110.
- Original text: The verbatim transcription of the Sinaiticus manuscript from the Codex Sinaiticus Project, preserving uncial forms, lunate sigma, nomina sacra (e.g. ⟨θϲ⟩ = θεός), and scribal marks. Nomina sacra are shown in angle brackets to indicate the manuscript's sacred-name abbreviations.
- English translation: The King James Version (1611), retrieved verbatim from the public-domain bible-api.com endpoint.
Numbering: Codex Sinaiticus follows the Septuagint Psalter, in which this is Psalm 80. In the Hebrew and King James numbering the same psalm is Psalm 81. Greek verse numbers follow the Septuagint, which counts the superscription as verse 1; English verse numbers follow the KJV, so they run 1 behind the Greek. The Greek and English in each section are the same words of the same psalm.

1Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. 2Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. 3Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. 4For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
6μαρτυριον εν τω ϊωϲηφ εθετο αυτον εν τω εξελθεν αυτον εκ γηϲ αιγυπτου γλωϲϲαν ην ουκ εγνω ηκουϲεν 7απεϲτηϲεν απο αρϲεων τον νωτον αυτου αι χειρεϲ αυτου εν τω κοφινω εδουλευϲαν 8εν θλιψει επεκαλεϲω μαι και ερυϲαμην ϲε επηκουϲα ϲου εν αποκρυφω καταιγιδοϲ εδοκιμαϲα ϲε επι ϋδατοϲ αντιλογιαϲ διαψαλμα 9ακουϲον λαοϲ μου και λαληϲω ϲοι ϊϲραηλ και διαμαρτυρομαι ϲοι εαν ακουϲηϲ μου 10ουκ εϲται εν ϲοι θϲ προϲφατοϲ ουδε προϲκυνηϲειϲ θω αλλοτριω
5This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. 6I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. 7Thou 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. 8Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; 9There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
11εγω γαρ ειμι κϲ ο θϲ ϲου ο αναγαγων ϲε εκ γηϲ αιγυπτου πλατυνον το ϲτομα ϲου και πληρωϲω αυτο 12και ουκ ηκουϲεν ο λαοϲ μου τηϲ φωνηϲ μου και ιϲραηλ ου προϲεϲχεν μοι 13και εξαπεϲτεϲτειλα αυτουϲ κατα τα επιτηδευματα των καρδιων αυτω πορευϲονται εν τοιϲ επιτηδευμαϲιν αυτων 14ει ο λαοϲ ηκουϲεν μου ϊϲραλ ταιϲ οδοιϲ μου ει επορευθη 15εν τω μηδενι αν τουϲ εχθρουϲ αυτων εταπινωϲα και επι τουϲ θλιβονταϲ αυτουϲ επεβαλον την χειρα μου
10I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. 12So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels. 13Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! 14I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
16οι εχθροι κυ εψευϲαντο αυτω και εϲται ο καιροϲ αυτων ειϲ τον αιωνα 17και εψωμιϲεν αυτουϲ εκ ϲτεατοϲ πυρου και εκ πετραϲ μελι εχορταϲεν αυτουϲ
15The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. 16He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
