Psalm 107:32–42

32  Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the session of the elders.

33  He maketh rivers into a wilderness, and water-springs into dry ground; 34  A fruitful land into a plain of salt, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. 35  He maketh the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into water-springs; 36  And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation; 37  And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase; 38  And he blesseth them, so that they are multiplied greatly; and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease. 39  And they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, adversity, and sorrow: 40  He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste; 41  But he secureth the needy one on high from affliction, and maketh him families like flocks. 42  The upright shall see it, and rejoice; and all unrighteousness shall stop its mouth.
