Psalms 107:33-43

33He turns rivers into a wilderness and springs of water into thirsty ground,

34and a fruitful land into a salt waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants.

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

36There He brings the hungry to live, and they establish a city for a dwelling.

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

38He blesses them, they multiply greatly, and He does not let their herds diminish,

39after they were few and crushed by oppression, calamity and sorrow.

40He pours contempt on princes, making them wander in trackless waste.

41But He lifts the needy high above affliction, and makes their families like a flock.

42The upright see it and are glad, and all iniquity shuts its mouth.

43Who is wise? Let him observe these things, and consider Adonai’s lovingkindness.
