Psalms 81:5-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 81
5He established it as a testimony in Joseph When he went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard a language I did not know: 6'I relieved his shoulder of the burden, His hands were freed from the basket. 7You called in trouble and I rescued you; I answered you in the hiding place of thunder; I put you to the test at the waters of Meribah. Selah 8Hear, My people, and I will admonish you; Israel, if you would listen to Me! 9There shall be no strange god among you; Nor shall you worship a foreign god. 10I, the Lord, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it. 11'But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel did not obey Me.King James Version

Chapter 81
5He set it up as a decree for Joseph when he went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard an unfamiliar language: 6"I relieved his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from carrying the basket.New Living Translation
Chapter 81
5He made it a law for Israel when he attacked Egypt to set us free. I heard an unknown voice say, 6'Now I will take the load from your shoulders; I will free your hands from their heavy tasks.
8'Listen to me, O my people, while I give you stern warnings. O Israel, if you would only listen to me!
9You must never have a foreign god; you must not bow down before a false god.
10For it was I, the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with good things.

Chapter 81
5He made it a decree in Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt. I hear a language I had not known: 6"I relieved your shoulder of the burden; your hands were freed from the basket. 7In distress you called, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah 8 Hear, O my people, while I admonish you! O Israel, if you would but listen to me! 9There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god. 10 I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11"But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me.New International Version
Chapter 81
5When God went out against Egypt, he established it as a statute for Joseph. I heard an unknown voice say: 6"I removed the burden from their shoulders; their hands were set free from the basket. 7In your distress you called and I rescued you, I answered you out of a thundercloud; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. 8Hear me, my people, and I will warn you— if you would only listen to me, Israel! 9You shall have no foreign god among you; you shall not worship any god other than me.New King James Version
Chapter 81
5This He established in Joseph as a testimony, When He went throughout the land of Egypt, Where I heard a language I did not understand. 6“I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were freed from the baskets.
8“Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you! O Israel, if you will listen to Me!
9There shall be no foreign god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god.
10 I am the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11“But My people would not heed My voice, And Israel would have none of Me.
