Psalm 81:5-7

Living Bible

⁵ He gave them as reminders of his war against Egypt where we were slaves on foreign soil.

I heard an unknown voice that said, ⁶ “Now I will relieve your shoulder of its burden; I will free your hands from their heavy tasks.” ⁷ He said, “You cried to me in trouble, and I saved you; I answered from Mount Sinai^[a] where the thunder hides. I tested your faith at Meribah, when you complained there was no water.
