Psalm 105:7–22
His ajudgments are in all the earth.
8 He has aremembered His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded to a bthousand generations,
9 The acovenant which He made with Abraham,
And His boath to Isaac.
10 Then He aconfirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11 Saying, “aTo you I will give the land of Canaan
As the 1bportion of your inheritance,”
12 When they were only a afew men in number,
Very few, and bstrangers in it.
13 And they wandered about from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people.
14 He apermitted no man to oppress them,
And He breproved kings for their sakes:
15 “aDo not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.”
16 And He acalled for a famine upon the land;
He bbroke the whole staff of bread.
17 He asent a man before them,
Joseph, who was bsold as a slave.
18 They afflicted his afeet with fetters,
1He himself was laid in irons;
19 Until the time that his aword came to pass,
The word of the Lord 1btested him.
20 The aking sent and released him,
The ruler of peoples, and set him free.
21 He amade him lord of his house
And ruler over all his possessions,
22 To 1imprison his princes 2aat will,
That he might teach his elders wisdom.
