Psalms 81:7. Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee;
What a gracious word is this! How it reminds us, in the most loving tones, of our obligations to the Lord!" Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee."
Psalms 81:7. I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
A very humbling sentence this! God has often proved us, and he has often disproved us. When he has tried us, we have not endured the test as we ought to have done. We have murmured and complained, and the waters, which ought to have been waters of joy and of happy patience, have been waters of strife. "Selah "That is, "Pause," screw up the harp-strings, lift up the heart. Such a Psalm as this is to be read by installments, with little halts on the road, for us to meditate and think upon the truth brought before us. We may well pause here when we hear the Lord reminding us of our faults and of his great mercy to us: "I delivered thee; I answered thee; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah."
