Psalm 105:7-22

7He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

8He remembers his covenant forever, the promise he made, for a thousand generations,

9the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.

10He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

11“To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion you will inherit.”

12When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,

13they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

14He allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:

15“Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.”

16He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food;

17and he sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.

18They bruised his feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons,

19till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the LORD proved him true.

20The king sent and released him, the ruler of peoples set him free.

21He made him master of his household, ruler over all he possessed,

22to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
