Context of Psalms 105:18
16The Lord sent a famine to the land of Canaan, so that his people had no food left to eat. 17But he sent Joseph to Egypt before they went there to get food. Joseph's brothers sold him as a slave. In Egypt the chains on his feet hurt him. He had a heavy piece of iron round his neck. 19He remained a slave until what he said would happen really happened. Then the Lord showed that Joseph was right. 20The powerful king of Egypt sent someone to let Joseph go free out of prison.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 8-23Verses 8-23 Let us remember the Redeemer's marvellous works, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth. Though true Christians are few number, strangers and pilgrims upon earth, yet a far better inheritance than Canaan is made sure to them by the covenant of God; and if we have the anointing of the Holy Spirit, none can do us any harm.
