This declaration serves as a reminder of God's unique position as the one true God amidst a polytheistic culture, reinforcing the call to exclusive worship and obedience.<p><b>who brought you up out of Egypt</b><br>This phrase recalls the historical event of the Exodus, where God delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. It is a foundational moment in Israel's history, symbolizing God's power, faithfulness, and commitment to His people. The Exodus is frequently referenced throughout the Old Testament as a demonstration of God's saving acts and serves as a type of Christ's redemptive work, foreshadowing the ultimate deliverance from sin through Jesus. The mention of Egypt also highlights God's role as a liberator and protector, reinforcing trust in His provision and guidance.<p><b>Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it</b><br>This metaphorical expression invites the Israelites to trust in God's provision and abundance. It suggests a posture of expectation and readiness to receive God's blessings. The imagery of an open mouth can be linked to the feeding of the Israelites with manna in the wilderness (Exodus 16), where God provided for their physical needs. Spiritually, it points to the idea of being filled with God's wisdom, word, and presence. This promise of provision is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus assures His followers of God's care and provision (<a href="/matthew/6-25.htm">Matthew 6:25-34</a>). The call to "open wide" implies an active faith and willingness to receive all that God offers, both materially and spiritually.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who reveals Himself as the deliverer and provider.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, whom He delivered from slavery in Egypt.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/e/egypt.htm">Egypt</a></b><br>The land of bondage from which God delivered the Israelites, symbolizing oppression and sin.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/e/exodus.htm">Exodus</a></b><br>The event of God leading the Israelites out of Egypt, demonstrating His power and faithfulness.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/w/wilderness.htm">Wilderness</a></b><br>The place where God provided for Israel, teaching them dependence on Him.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god_as_deliverer_and_provider.htm">God as Deliverer and Provider</a></b><br>Recognize God as the ultimate source of deliverance and provision in our lives, just as He was for Israel.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/f/faith_and_expectation.htm">Faith and Expectation</a></b><br>Approach God with faith and expectation, trusting that He desires to fill our needs and desires according to His will.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/spiritual_hunger.htm">Spiritual Hunger</a></b><br>Cultivate a spiritual hunger for God, opening our hearts to be filled with His presence and Word.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/d/dependence_on_god.htm">Dependence on God</a></b><br>Learn to depend on God daily, acknowledging that every good thing comes from Him.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_and_trust.htm">Obedience and Trust</a></b><br>Obey God's commands and trust in His promises, knowing that He is faithful to fulfill them.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_81.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 81</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_to_verify_joseph's_influence_in_egypt.htm">In Psalm 81:4-5, how can we verify historically or archaeologically that Joseph held influence in Egypt and that a new language was heard?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_no_proof_of_a_global_flood.htm">Psalm 29:10 mentions the Lord sitting enthroned over the flood; if this points to a universal flood, why do we lack conclusive global geological or archeological proof of it?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_to_confirm_moses_and_aaron's_roles.htm">Psalm 99:6 mentions Moses, Aaron, and Samuel; how can we confirm the historical existence and roles of Moses and Aaron, given limited archaeological evidence?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_atavism_mean.htm">What does 'Call on the Lord to be saved' mean?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/81.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 10.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt</span>.
