7. You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah.” Selah.
8. “Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!
9. There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you worship any foreign god.
10. I am Yahweh, 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 didn’t listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.
12. So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.
13. Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
14. I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
15. The haters of Yahweh would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
