Contextual Overview
1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. 2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. 3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. 4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. 5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. 6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. 7 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Has llamado en problemas - El pueblo de Israel. Éxodo 2:23; Éxodo 3:9; Éxodo 14:1.
Y te entregué - Saqué al pueblo de Egipto.
Te respondí en el lugar secreto del trueno - Es decir, en el lugar solitario, retirado y solemne donde el trueno rodó; las soledades donde no había voz sino la voz del trueno, y eso parecía provenir de los profundos recovecos de las gargantas de las montañas. La alusión es indudablemente para el Sinaí. Compare Éxodo 19:17. El significado es que dio una respuesta, una respuesta real, a su oración, en medio de las escenas solemnes del Sinaí, cuando les dio su ley; cuando los reconoció como su pueblo; cuando entró en pacto con ellos.
Te probé - Te probé; Probé tu fidelidad.
En las aguas de Meribah - Margen, como en hebreo, conflicto. Esto fue en Mount Horeb. Éxodo 17:5. La prueba, la prueba, consistió en traer agua de la roca, demostrando que él era Dios, que él era su Dios.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Versículo Salmo 81:7 . Tú llamaste en problemas. Habían llorado a causa de sus cargas, y la crueldad de sus capataces; y Dios oyó aquel clamor, y los libró. Véase Éxodo 3:7.
En el lugar secreto del trueno. En el monte Sinaí donde se escuchaba a Dios, pero no se lo veía . Oyeron una voz , pero no vieron ninguna forma.
En las aguas de Meriba. Ver Éxodo 17:1.
