Context of Psalms 107:37
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. So 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.
