Contextual Overview

¹

For the director of music. By the gittith. A psalm of Asaph.

Sing for joy to God, our strength; shout out loud to the God of Jacob. ² Begin the music. Play the tambourines. Play pleasant music on the harps and lyres. ³ Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon, when the moon is full, when our feast begins. ⁴ This is the law for Israel; it is the command of the God of Jacob. ⁵ He gave this rule to the people of Joseph when they went out of the land of Egypt. I heard a language I did not know, saying: ⁶ "I took the load off their shoulders; I let them put down their baskets. ⁷ When you were in trouble, you called, and I saved you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee,.... That is, when Israel were in trouble in Egypt, as the Targum adds, and they cried unto the Lord in their distress, he heard them, and answered them, and sent them a deliverer, and brought them out of all their troubles, Exodus 3:7.

I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; by bringing the plague of thunder and lightnings upon the Egyptians, when the Israelites were hidden from them; a sense given by some, as Kimchi observes: or rather this was done when the Lord looked out of the pillar of cloud at the Red sea upon the Egyptian host, and troubled them; at which time the voice of his thunder was heard in heaven, Psalms 77:16. Some think this has reference to the thunder at the giving of the law on Mount Sinai; but the sense before given is best:

I proved thee at the waters of Meribah; by withholding water from them to try them, and see whether they would behave patiently, and put their trust and confidence in the Lord, or not; see Exodus 17:4.

Selah. Exodus 17:4- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Thou calledst in trouble - The people of Israel. Exodus 2:23; Exodus 3:9; Exodus 14:10.

And I delivered thee - I brought the people out of Egypt.

I answered thee in the secret place of thunder - That is, in the lonely, retired, solemn place where the thunder rolled; the solitudes where there was no voice but the voice of thunder, and where that seemed to come from the deep recesses of the mountain gorges. The allusion is doubtless to Sinai. Compare Exodus 19:17-19. The meaning is, that he gave a response - a real reply - to their prayer - amid the solemn scenes of Sinai, when he gave them his law; when he recognized them as his people; when he entered into covenant with them.

I proved thee - I tried you; I tested your fidelity.

At the waters of Meribah - Margin, as in Hebrew, strife. This was at Mount Horeb. Exodus 17:5-7. The trial - the proof - consisted in his bringing water from the rock, showing that he was God - that he was their God.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 81:7. Thou calledst in trouble — They had cried by reason of their burdens, and the cruelty of their task-masters; and God heard that cry, and delivered them. See Exodus 3:7, c.

In the secret place of thunder — On Mount Sinai where God was heard, but not seen. They heard a voice, but they saw no shape.

At the waters of Meribah. — See this transaction, Exodus 17:1, &c.
