Psalm 105:16-22

16 (A) God kept crops from growing
until food was scarce
everywhere in the land.
17 (B) But he had already sent Joseph,
sold as a slave into Egypt,
18 (C) with chains of iron
around his legs and neck.
19 Joseph remained a slave
until his own words
had come true,
and the Lord had finished
testing him.
20 (D) Then the king of Egypt
set Joseph free
21 (E) and put him in charge
of everything he owned.
22 Joseph was in command
of the officials,
and he taught the leaders
how to use wisdom.
Psalm 105:45

would obey all his laws.
Shout praises to the Lord!
