Psalm 81:7-9
Contemporary English Version
7 (A) When you were in trouble,
I rescued you,
and from the thunderclouds,
I answered your prayers.
Later I tested you
at Meribah Spring.[a]
8 “Listen, my people,
while I, the Lord,
correct you!
Israel, if you would only
pay attention to me!
9 (B) Don't worship foreign gods
or bow down to gods
you know nothing about.
Footnotes
