Context of Psalms 81:6
4For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob. 5He established it as a testimony in Joseph When he went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard a language I did not know: “I relieved his shoulder of the burden, His hands were freed from the basket. 7You called in trouble and I rescued you; I answered you in the hiding place of thunder; I put you to the test at the waters of Meribah. Selah 8Hear, My people, and I will admonish you; Israel, if you would listen to Me!
