Context of Psalms 105:19
17But he sent Joseph to Egypt before they went there to get food. Joseph's brothers sold him as a slave. 18In Egypt the chains on his feet hurt him. He had a heavy piece of iron round his neck. He 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. 21The king made Joseph master of his palace. Joseph took care of everything that belonged to the king.
