Psalms 105:13-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

13. And they wandered about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.

14. He permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes:

15. "Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm."

16. And He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.

17. He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

18. They afflicted his feet with fetters, He himself was laid in irons;

19. Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the Lord tested him.

20. The king sent and released him, The ruler of peoples, and set him free.

21. He made him lord of his house And ruler over all his possessions,

22. To imprison his princes at will, That he might teach his elders wisdom.

23. Israel also came into Egypt; Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24. And He caused His people to be very fruitful, And made them stronger than their adversaries.
