Read in context

Psalms 81:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

5 He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:

6 “I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.

7 You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah

8 Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
