“Now I will take the load from your shoulders;
    I will free your hands from their heavy tasks.
You cried to me in trouble, and I saved you;

    and tested your faith when there was no water at Meribah. Interlude

“Listen to me, O my people, while I give you stern warnings.

    who rescued you from the land of Egypt.
    Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with good things.
