Psalm 81:6

Listen to Psalm 81:6
6 da ich ihre Schulter von der Last entledigt hatte und ihre Hände der Körbe los wurden.

Psalm 81:6 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 81:6

I removed his shoulder from the burden
These are the words of God, declaring how he had delivered the Israelites from the oppression and cruelty of the Egyptians; who made their lives bitter in hard bondage, and obliged them to carry heavy loads of bricks upon their shoulders:

his hands were delivered from the pots,
or "baskets" F3; into which the bricks were put when made, and carried on their shoulders; or from making of pots, as Kimchi, who thinks the Israelites were employed in making pots of clay as well as bricks; see ( Psalms 68:13 ) , the Targum is,

``his hands withdrew themselves from casting clay into the pots:''

the whole is typical of the saints' deliverance by Christ from the bondage of sin, Satan, and the law.

Psalm 81:6 In-Context

4 Denn solches ist die Weise in Israel und ein Recht des Gottes Jakobs.
5 Solche hat er zum Zeugnis gesetzt unter Joseph, da sie aus Ägyptenland zogen und fremde Sprache gehört hatten,
6 da ich ihre Schulter von der Last entledigt hatte und ihre Hände der Körbe los wurden.
7 Da du mich in der Not anriefst, half ich dir aus; ich erhörte dich, da dich das Wetter überfiel, und versuchte dich am Haderwasser. (Sela.)
8 Höre, mein Volk, ich will unter dir zeugen; Israel, du sollst mich hören,
