4 For this is a statute for Israel,

an ordinance of the God of Jacob.ae

5 He set it up as a decree for Joseph

when he went throughoutI the land of Egypt.af

I heard an unfamiliar language:

6 “I relieved his shoulder from the burden;

his hands were freed from carrying the basket.ag

7 You called out in distress, and I rescued you;

I answered you from the thundercloud.ah

I tested you at the Waters of Meribah.ai
