Psalm 81:5-7

The Voice

I hear it said in a language foreign to me:
⁶ “I removed the burden from your shoulders;
    I removed heavy baskets from your hands.
⁷ You cried out to Me, I heard your distress, and I delivered you;
    I answered you from the secret place, where clouds of thunder roll.
    I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
