Psalms 105:19 Meaning and Commentary

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 the event": or rather till the fame and report of that came to Pharaoh's ears, ( Genesis 41:13 Genesis 41:14 ) , or else the word of the Lord, concerning his advancement and exaltation, signified in dreams to him, ( Genesis 37:7-10 ) , as it follows:

the word of the Lord tried him:
it tried his faith and patience before it was accomplished; and when it was, it purged him and purified him, as silver in a furnace, and cleared him of the imputation and calumny of his mistress; for, even in the view of Pharaoh, he appeared to be a man in whom the Spirit of God was, ( Genesis 41:38 ) . Some think that Christ, the essential Word, is intended, who came and visited him, tried and cleared him.

Psalms 105:19 In-Context

17 aperta est terra et degluttivit Dathan et operuit super congregationem Abiron

18 et exarsit ignis in synagoga eorum flamma conbusit peccatores

19 et fecerunt vitulum in Choreb et adoraverunt sculptile

20 et mutaverunt gloriam suam in similitudine vituli comedentis faenum

21 obliti sunt Deum qui salvavit eos qui fecit magnalia in Aegypto
