Psalms 107:33-43

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

33He turns rivers into a wilderness,

And springs of water into a thirsty ground;

34And a fruitful land into a salt waste,

Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

35He turns a wilderness into a pool of water,

And a dry land into springs of water;

36And He has the hungry live there,

So that they may establish an inhabited city,

37And sow fields and plant vineyards,

And gather a fruitful harvest.

38He also blesses them and they multiply greatly,

And He does not let their cattle decrease.

39When they become few and lowly

Because of oppression, misery, and sorrow,

40He pours contempt upon noblemen

And makes them wander in a pathless wasteland.

41But He sets the needy securely on high, away from affliction,

And makes his families like a flock.

42The upright see it and are glad;

But all injustice shuts its mouth.

43Who is wise? He is to pay attention to these things,

And consider the mercy of the Lord.
