Footnotes
- Psalm 81:6 tn The words “It said” are not included in the Hebrew text. They are supplied in the translation for clarification.
- Psalm 81:6 sn I removed the burden. The Lord speaks metaphorically of how he delivered his people from Egyptian bondage. The reference to a basket/burden probably alludes to the hard labor of the Israelites in Egypt, where they had to carry loads of bricks (see Exod 1:14).
