After he had shaved and changed his clothes, he went in before Pharaoh. Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it.

Psalms 105:19 Summary
This verse is talking about Joseph, who was sold into slavery by his brothers, but God had a plan to make him a leader in Egypt. Until Joseph's prediction came true, he had to wait and trust in God's plan, just like we have to trust in God's plan for our lives, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11. We can learn from Joseph's experience that God is always working, even when we can't see it, and that His plan is always good, as promised in Romans 8:28. By trusting in God's sovereignty and timing, we can, like Joseph, rise above our circumstances and fulfill the plans God has for us.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the prediction being referred to in Psalms 105:19?
The prediction is likely referring to Joseph's dreams in Genesis 37:5-11, which foretold his rise to power in Egypt, and the word of the LORD proving him right is a testament to God's faithfulness and sovereignty as seen in Genesis 50:20.
How did the word of the LORD prove Joseph right?
The word of the LORD proved Joseph right by fulfilling the predictions and promises made to him, such as his elevation to a position of power in Egypt, as seen in Psalms 105:21 and Genesis 41:41-44.
What can we learn from Joseph's experience in this verse?
We can learn about the importance of trusting in God's sovereignty and timing, even in the midst of difficult circumstances, as Joseph did, and as encouraged in Romans 8:28 and Jeremiah 29:11.
How does this verse relate to the broader theme of God's providence?
This verse highlights God's providence in the life of Joseph, demonstrating how He works all things together for good, as seen in Genesis 50:20 and Romans 8:28, and encourages us to trust in His sovereign plan for our lives.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways in which I can trust in God's sovereignty and timing in my own life, even when circumstances seem difficult or uncertain?
- How can I, like Joseph, hold on to God's promises and predictions for my life, even when they seem delayed or unlikely?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to trust in God's providence and sovereignty, and how can I apply the lessons from Joseph's experience to those areas?
- In what ways can I, like Joseph, use my experiences and circumstances to glorify God and point others to Him, as seen in Genesis 45:5-8 and Genesis 50:20?
Gill's Exposition on Psalms 105:19
Until the time that his word came,.... Either the word of Joseph, interpreting the dreams of the butler and baker, till that came to be fulfilled; so the Syriac version, "till his word was proved by
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 105:19
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread. -The circumstances leading to the bringing of the heirs of the promise into Egypt.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 105:19
The time; till which time his eminent prudence, and innocency, and piety gave him no relief. His word; either, 1. Joseph’ s word, or his prophecy concerning the chief butler and baker; which is said to come when it was fulfilled, as that word is used, ,17 Ezekiel 24:24, and elsewhere. But the event confutes this; for Joseph was not delivered at that time, but two years after it, . Or rather, 2. The word of the Lord, as it follows; the pronoun relative being here put before the substantive, to which it belongs, as it is also 14:13. He seems to speak of that word or revelation which came first to Pharaoh in a dream, ,2, &c.; and then to Joseph concerning the interpretation of it. ,16. For the word of the Lord is said to come, not only when it comes to pass, but also and most commonly when it is first revealed, as 11:1 18:1; and God is said to come when he doth reveal it, as 31:24. Tried him; either, 1. Tried his sincerity and constancy.
But that was not done by God’ s word, but by his rod. Or rather, 2. Discovered him, to wit, unto Pharaoh and his courtiers, how innocent, and holy, and knowing a person he was; or purged him from those calumnies which were cast upon him, and so prepared the way for his release, which here follows, . This verse may well be rendered thus, Until the time that his word came, even the word of the Lord, which tried him; such ellipses being most usual in the Hebrew text.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 105:19
Psalms 105:19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.Ver. 19. Until the time that his word came] The time that God’ s purpose and promise of deliverance was fulfilled. This word of God profane persons call fate, fortune, &c. The word of the Lord tried him] That he was affliction proof, and still retained his integrity, 1 Peter 1:7.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 105:19
(19) Until the time that his word came—i.e., until his (Joseph’s) interpretation of the dreams was fulfilled (Genesis 41:12). (For the expression “his word came,” equal to “came to pass,” comp. Judges 13:12.) Word of the Lord.—As a different Hebrew word from that in the previous clause is used, better render, saying (or, oracle) of Jehovah.Tried him.—Better, purified him, i.e., proved him innocent of the charge for which he was imprisoned. (For this sense of the verb, see Psalms 17:3; Psalms 18:30; Proverbs 30:5, margin.) The psalmist means that by enabling him to foretell the dreams of Pharaoh’s servants, God brought about the proof of his innocence.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 105:19
Verse 19. Until the time that his word came] This appears to refer to the completion of Joseph's interpretation of the dreams of the chief butler and baker. The word of the Lord tried him.] This seems to refer to the interpretation of Pharaoh's dreams, called אמרת יהוה imrath Yehovah, "the oracle of the Lord," because sent by him to Pharaoh. See Genesis 41:26, and Kennicott in loco.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 105:19
19. Until the time that his word should come to pass The promise of Jehovah tried him. Two different Hebrew words are rendered word in the A.V. It seems best to understand them both of the word or promise of Jehovah communicated to Joseph in the dreams which excited the enmity of his brethren (Genesis 37:5 ff.). The promise of Jehovah is as it were personified as Jehovah’s agent employed to fit Joseph for his high station (cp. Psalms 119:50). It tested him, purified and refined his character (Job 23:10), as it led him through dark ways of humiliation, till the time came for him to be raised to the honour for which Providence destined him. By some commentators ‘his word’ has been taken to mean Joseph’s word, either (1) his story of his dreams (Genesis 37:5 ff; Genesis 42:9), or (2) his interpretation of Pharaoh’s dreams (Genesis 41:16 ff.). But ‘his word’ is not a natural expression for Joseph’s relation of his dream, and his liberation from prison took place before his interpretation of Pharaoh’s dream was verified by the event.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 105:19
Until the time that his word came - The word, or the communication from God. The word of the Lord tried him - That is, tested his skill in interpreting dreams, and his power to disclose the future. Gen. 41.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 105:19
19. Until the time—The trial of grace must come before the honour of reward. His word came—That is, His word came to pass, as 1 Samuel 9:6. The word of the Lord—The word which God revealed to him in prison and before Pharaoh.
