Context of Psalms 107:37
35He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into watersprings. 36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, That they may prepare a city of habitation, And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And get them fruits of increase. 38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease. 39Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
