"Then HE sent a famine and ruined the crop that sustained the land; HE sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave;
his feet in shackles, his neck in irons; till what HE foretold came to pass, and YAHWEH's word proved HIM true.
The king sent for him; set him free; the ruler of the peoples released him. He put him in charge of his household and made him ruler of all his possessions..."
- Psalm 105:16-17. 18-19. 20-21
(We are the people whom GOD has redeemed, but in redeeming us, GOD was keeping the promise which HE made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his seed.
When praying with this psalm, we can unite our history to the history of salvation and remember that, while the covenant is a mandate, it is also the Word of GOD and therefore it is an eternal and holy covenant. If we are unfaithful, GOD is still faithful.)
