Psalms 81:4-7

4 For it is a statute for Israel,
a rule ^{▼▼Or just decree} of the God of Jacob.
5 He made it ^ba decree in ^cJoseph
when he ^dwent out over ^{▼▼Or against} the land of Egypt.
^fI hear a language ^gI had not known:
6 “I ^hrelieved your ^{▼▼Hebrew his; also next line} shoulder of ^jthe burden;
your hands were freed from the basket.
7 In distress you ^kcalled, and I delivered you;
I ^lanswered you in the secret place of thunder;
I ^mtested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
