Psalms 107:33-43

33He 12changes rivers into a 3wilderness And springs of water into a thirsty ground;34A 4fruitful land into a 5salt waste, Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.35He 67changes a 8wilderness into a pool of water And a dry land into springs of water;36And there He makes the hungry to dwell, So that they may establish 910an inhabited city,37And sow fields and 11plant vineyards, And 12gather a fruitful harvest.38Also He blesses them and they 13multiply greatly, And He 14does not let their cattle decrease.

39When they are 15diminished and 16bowed down Through oppression, misery and sorrow,40He 17pours contempt upon 18princes And 19makes them wander 20in a pathless waste.41But He 21sets the needy 22securely on high away from affliction, And 23makes his families like a flock.42The 24upright see it and are glad; But all 25unrighteousness shuts its mouth.43Who is 26wise? Let him give heed to these things, And consider the 27lovingkindnesses of the Lord.
