Context of Psalms 107:31
29He caused the storm to stop, so that the waves became quiet. 30The sailors were happy when it became quiet. God led them safely to the port, where they wanted to go. So they should thank the Lord because of his faithful love. They should thank him for the great things that he does for people. 32They should praise the Lord when they meet together. They should praise him at the meeting of their leaders. 33In places where people are wicked, God makes the streams and rivers become dry, so that the land becomes a desert. He makes good land become a salty wilderness.
