“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.”
God's responsiveness in distress is affirmed: "In distress you called, and I rescued you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah." The reference to calling in distress and divine rescue recalls the exodus narrative. The mention of Meribah (where Israel tested God by demanding water) introduces a note of warning: even amid rescue, the people test God's patience.
