7When you were in trouble, you called out ⸤to me⸥, and I rescued you.
I was hidden in thunder, but I answered you.
I tested your ⸤loyalty⸥ at the oasis of Meribah.
Selah
8Listen, my people, and I will warn you.
Israel, if you would only listen to me!
9Never keep any strange god among you.
Never worship a foreign god.
10I am the Lord your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt.
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
