Psalms 105:18-23 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

18. Whose feet with fetters they did hurt,and he in irons lay;

19. Until the time that his word cameto give him liberty;The word and purpose of the Lorddid him in prison try.

20. Then sent the king, and did commandthat he enlarg'd should be:He that the people's ruler wasdid send to set him free.

21. A lord to rule his familyhe rais'd him, as most fit;To him of all that he possess'dhe did the charge commit:

22. That he might at his pleasure bindthe princes of the land;And he might teach his senatorswisdom to understand.

23. The people then of Israeldown into Egypt came;And Jacob also sojournedwithin the land of Ham.
