There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 81 of Psalms. Psalm 81 begins as a festive invitation to celebrate God and remember the deliverance from Egypt. It then shifts into a divine speech accusing Israel of refusing to listen. God recalls freeing the people and offering to satisfy their needs, but disobedience prevented them from fully enjoying that blessing. The final section shows that listening to the divine voice would have produced protection and abundance.

Höre, mein Volk, ich will unter dir zeugen; Israel, du sollst mich hören,
No habrá en ti dios ajeno, Ni te encorvarás a dios extraño.
No haya en ti ningún dios extraño, ni te postres ante un dios extranjero.
Qu'il n'y ait au milieu de toi point de dieu étranger! Ne te prosterne pas devant des dieux étrangers!
Non siavi fra te alcun dio strano, E non adorare alcun dio forestiere.
Não haverá entre ti deus alheio, nem te prostrarás ante um deus estranho.
在你當中,不可有外族的神明; 外邦的神明,你也不可下拜。
