Psalm 105:16-24

English Standard Version

¹⁶ When he ^(A)summoned a famine on the land
    and ^(B)broke all supply^[a] of bread,
¹⁷ he had ^(C)sent a man ahead of them,
    Joseph, who was ^(D)sold as a slave.
¹⁸ His ^(E)feet were hurt with fetters;
    his neck was put in a collar of iron;
¹⁹ until ^(F)what he had said came to pass,
    the word of the Lord ^(G)tested him.
^20 (H)The king sent and ^(I)released him;
    the ruler of the peoples set him free;
²¹ he ^(J)made him lord of his house
    and ruler of all his possessions,
²² to bind^[b] his princes at his pleasure
    and to teach his elders wisdom.

²³ Then ^(K)Israel came to Egypt;
    Jacob ^(L)sojourned in ^(M)the land of Ham.
²⁴ And the Lord ^(N)made his people very fruitful
    and made them stronger than their foes.
