Revised Standard Version

⁵He made it a decree in Joseph,
when he went out over^[a] the land of Egypt.

I hear a voice I had not known:
⁶“I relieved your^[b] shoulder of the burden;
    your^[c] 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 Mer′ibah.Selah
