Psalm 105: 1-6, 16-22, 45b (UMH 828)

Psalm 105

105 Give thanks to the Lord;
    call upon his name;
    make his deeds known to all people!
Sing to God;
    sing praises to the Lord;
    dwell on all his wondrous works!
Give praise to God’s holy name!
    Let the hearts rejoice of all those seeking the Lord!
Pursue the Lord and his strength;
    seek his face always!
Remember the wondrous works he has done,
    all his marvelous works, and the justice he declared—
    you who are the offspring of Abraham, his servant,
        and the children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

Psalm 105:16-22Common English Bible (CEB)

16 When God called for a famine in the land,
    destroying every source of food,
        
            who was sold as a slave: it was Joseph.
18 Joseph’s feet hurt in his shackles;
        his neck was in an iron collar,
19     until what he predicted actually happened,
        until what the Lord had said proved him true.[a]
20 The king sent for Joseph and set him free;
    the ruler of many people released him.
21 The king made Joseph master of his house and ruler over everything he owned,
22     to make sure his princes acted according to his will,
    and to teach wisdom to his advisors.
