Psalms 81:5 In-Context

3 Trumpets and trombones and horns: it's festival day, a feast to God!
4 A day decreed by God, solemnly ordered by the God of Jacob.
5 He commanded Joseph to keep this day so we'd never forget what he did in Egypt. I hear this most gentle whisper from One I never guessed would speak to me:
6 "I took the world off your shoulders, freed you from a life of hard labor.
7 You called to me in your pain; I got you out of a bad place. I answered you from where the thunder hides, I proved you at Meribah Fountain.
