• {v.21-22} We do not find a single word about Israel's oppression by the nations as a result of their disobedience. All is free grace in this passage. This is all the more striking as the second part of Psa. 105, omitted here, cannot concur with the purpose that we have indicated. Indeed, in Psa. 105:16-22 we see Joseph rejected by his brothers and sold as a slave. (“The Song at the Kingship's Beginning: 1 Chronicles 16:7-43” by H.L. Rossier)
