7 In your distress you called out and I rescued you.I answered you from a dark thundercloud.I tested you at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 I said, ‘Listen, my people!I will warn you!O Israel, if only you would obey me!
9 There must be no other god among you.You must not worship a foreign god.
10 I am the Lord, your God,the one who brought you out of the land of Egypt.Open your mouth wide and I will fill it!’
11 But my people did not obey me;Israel did not submit to me.
12 I gave them over to their stubborn desires;they did what seemed right to them.
13 If only my people would obey me!If only Israel would keep my commands!
