Psalm 81:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version

5 God established it as a testimony for Joseph
when he went out against the land of Egypt.
There I heard a language I did not know.[a]

A Warning From the Lord

6 The Lord says:
I relieved Israel’s shoulders from the burden.
His hands were set free from carrying buckets.
7 In distress you called and I rescued you.
I answered you from the hiding place of thunder. Interlude
I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
