32Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people,

And praise him in the seat of the elders.

33He turneth rivers into a wilderness,

And watersprings into a thirsty ground;

34A fruitful land into a salt desert,

For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

35He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water,

And a dry land into watersprings.

36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell,

That they may prepare a city of habitation,

37And sow fields, and plant vineyards,

And get them fruits of increase.

38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;

And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

39Again, they are diminished and bowed down

Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.

40He poureth contempt upon princes,

And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.

41Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction,

And maketh him families like a flock.

42The upright shall see it, and be glad;

And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
