Psalm 105:16-26

Listen to Psalm 105:16-26
16 Il appela sur la terre la famine, et rompit tout l'appui du pain.
17 II envoya devant eux un homme; Joseph fut vendu comme esclave.
18 On lui serra les pieds dans des ceps, et sa vie fut mise dans les fers;
19 Jusqu'au temps où ce qu'il avait dit arriva, où la parole de l'Éternel le fit connaître.
20 Le roi l'envoya délivrer; le dominateur des peuples le fit élargir.
21 Il l'établit seigneur de sa maison, et gouverneur de tous ses biens;
22 Pour enchaîner à son gré ses princes, et enseigner à ses anciens la sagesse.
23 Alors Israël vint en Égypte; Jacob séjourna au pays de Cham.
24 Dieu fit fort multiplier son peuple, et le rendit plus puissant que ses oppresseurs.
25 Puis il changea leur cœur, tellement qu'ils haïrent son peuple, et agirent perfidement contre ses serviteurs.
26 Il envoya Moïse, son serviteur, Aaron qu'il avait élu.

Psalm 105:16-26 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 105

This psalm was penned by David, and sung at the time when the ark was brought from the house of Obededom to the place which David had prepared for it; at least the first fifteen verses of it, the other part being probably added afterwards by the same inspired penman, as appears from 1Ch 16:1-7. The subject matter of the psalm is the special and distinguishing goodness of God to the children of Israel, and to his church and people, of which they were typical: the history of God's regard to and care of their principal ancestors, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph and of the whole body of the people, in bringing them out of Egypt, leading them through the wilderness, and settling them in the land of Canaan, is here recited, as an argument for praise and thankfulness.
