Scripture focus

6. I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. 7. Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah. 8. Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; 9. There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. 10. I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11. But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. 12. So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: [and] they walked in their own counsels. 13. Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, [and] Israel had walked in my ways! 14. I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. 15. The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. 16. He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

Commentary

Commentary on Psalms 81:6

Theological / Devotional

Burden. Egyptian slaves often carried their burdens on the shoulder. God removed the burden of bondage by delivering the Hebrews from Egypt (see Ex. 1:11–14; 5:4–17).

From the pots. Or, “from the basket,” probably referring to the basket in which the slaves carried the clay which was to be made into bricks.
