12When they were few in number, *
of little account, and sojourners in the land,
13Wandering from nation to nation *
and from one kingdom to another,
14He let no one oppress them *
and rebuked kings for their sake,
15Saying, “Do not touch my anointed *
and do my prophets no harm.”
16Then he called for a famine in the land *
and destroyed the supply of bread.
17He sent a man before them, *
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18They bruised his feet in fetters; *
his neck they put in an iron collar.
19Until his prediction came to pass, *
the word of the Lord tested him.
20The king sent and released him; *
the ruler of the peoples set him free.
21He set him as a master over his household, *
as a ruler over all his possessions,
22To instruct his princes according to his will *
and to teach his elders wisdom.
Psalm 105: Part IIEt intravit Israel
23Israel came into Egypt, *
and Jacob became a sojourner in the land of Ham.
