Context of Psalms 105:24
22The king gave him authority over his officers. He could teach the king's leaders, so that they would know what to do. 23Then Jacob's family came into Egypt. They lived as strangers in the land of Ham's descendants. The Lord gave to his people many children. They became more powerful than their enemies. 25So the Egyptians began to hate God's people. They did cruel things to the Lord's people. 26The Lord sent his servant Moses to help his people in Egypt. He also chose Aaron to help them.
