Psalms 105:16-25

16He called down famine against the land and destroyed the entire food supply.

17He had sent a man ahead of them — Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

18They hurt his feet with shackles; his neck was put in an iron collar.

19Until the time his prediction came true, the word of the Lord tested him.

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

21He made him master of his household, ruler over all his possessions  —

22binding his officials at will and instructing his elders.

23Then Israel went to Egypt; Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.

24The Lord made his people very fruitful; he made them more numerous than their foes,

25whose hearts he turned to hate his people and to deal deceptively with his servants.
