God and His People
(1 Chronicles 16.8 -22)

Psalm 105 Give thanks to the LORD, proclaim his greatness;

tell the nations what he has done.

to protect them, he warned the kings:

¹⁵"Don't harm my chosen servants;

do not touch my prophets."

and took away all their food.

¹⁷But he sent a man ahead of them,

and an iron collar was around his neck,

¹⁹

until what he had predicted came true.

The word of the LORD proved him right.

²⁰Then the king of Egypt had him released;

the ruler of nations set him free.

²¹He put him in charge of his government

and made him ruler over all the land,

with power over the king's officials

and authority to instruct his advisers.
