New English Translation

Psalms 105:14-20 New English Translation (NET)

14. He let no one oppress them;he disciplined kings for their sake,

15. saying,“Don’t touch my chosen ones!Don’t harm my prophets!”

16. He called down a famine upon the earth;he cut off all the food supply.

17. He sent a man ahead of them – Joseph was sold as a servant.

18. The shackles hurt his feet;his neck was placed in an iron collar,

19. until the time when his prediction came true.The Lord’s word proved him right.

20. The king authorized his release;the ruler of nations set him free.
