Psalms 81:3-8

³Blow the trumpets during the festival to celebrate each new moon and each time the moon is full and during our other festivals.

⁴Do that because that is a law for us Israeli people; God commanded it for us descendants of Jacob.

⁵He commanded us Israeli people to obey it when he punished the people of Egypt. I heard someone MTY whose voice I did not recognize, saying,

⁶“ After the rulers of Egypt forced you Israelis to work as slaves, I took those heavy burdens off your backs, and I enabled you to lay down those heavy baskets of bricks that you were carrying.

⁷When you were greatly distressed, you called out to me, and I rescued you; I answered you out of a thundercloud. Later I tested whether you would trust me to give you water when you were in the desert at Meribah.

⁸You who are my people, listen while I warn you! I wish that you Israeli people would pay attention to what I say to you!
