Psalm 104:18-23 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

18. They humbled his feet in shackles; the iron pierced his soul,

19. until his word arrived. The eloquence of the Lord inflamed him.

20. The king sent and released him; he was the ruler of the people, and he dismissed him.

21. He established him as master of his house and ruler of all his possessions,

22. so that he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his elders prudence.

23. And Israel entered into Egypt, and Jacob became a sojourner in the land of Ham.
