Psalms 107:33-43

33He turns rivers into desert, springs into thirsty ground,

34and fruitful land into salty wasteland, because of the wickedness of its inhabitants.

35He turns a desert into a pool, dry land into springs.

36He causes the hungry to settle there, and they establish a city where they can live.

37They sow fields and plant vineyards that yield a fruitful harvest.

38He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; he does not let their livestock decrease.

39When they are diminished and are humbled by cruel oppression and sorrow,

40he pours contempt on nobles and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.

41But he lifts the needy out of their suffering and makes their families multiply like flocks.

42The upright see it and rejoice, and all injustice shuts its mouth.

43Let whoever is wise pay attention to these things and consider the Lord’s acts of faithful love.
