In a time of need you called out and I delivered you;
    I answered you from the dark thundercloud;
        I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
Interlude

Listen, My people and I will warn you.
    Israel, if only you would obey me!
You must neither have a foreign god over you
    or worship a strange god.

In your distress you called(A) and I rescued you,
    I answered(B) you out of a thundercloud;
    I tested you at the waters of Meribah.[a](C)
Hear me, my people,(D) and I will warn you—
    if you would only listen to me, Israel!
You shall have no foreign god(E) among you;
    you shall not worship any god other than me.
