Salmene 81,4
2 Stem i en sang, slå på tamburinen,
Den søtlydende lyren med harpen.
3 Blås i trompeten ved nymåne,
Ved fullmåne, på vår festdag.
For det er en forskrift for Israel,
En befaling fra Jakobs Gud.
5 Han satte det opp som et vitnesbyrd i Josef,
Da han dro gjennom Egyptens land;
Jeg hørte et språk som var ukjent for meg:
6 “Jeg tok byrden fra hans skulder,
Hans hender ble fri fra kurven.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
