Context of Psalms 105:21

19Until the time when what he said came about: the word of Jehovah tried him. 20The king sent and loosed him — the ruler of peoples — and let him go free. He made him lord of his house, and ruler over all his possessions: 22To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom. 23And Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
