Context of Psalms 105:19
17Then he sent someone to Egypt ahead of them— Joseph, who was sold as a slave. 18They bruised his feet with fetters and placed his neck in an iron collar. Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character. 20Then Pharaoh sent for him and set him free; the ruler of the nation opened his prison door. 21Joseph was put in charge of all the king’s household; he became ruler over all the king’s possessions.
