Psalm 107:33-43

New King James Version

³³ He ^(A)turns rivers into a wilderness,
And the watersprings into dry ground;
³⁴ A ^(B)fruitful land into ^[a]barrenness,
For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
^35 (C)He turns a wilderness into pools of water,
And dry land into watersprings.
³⁶ There He makes the hungry dwell,
That they may establish a city for a dwelling place,
³⁷ And sow fields and plant vineyards,
That they may yield a fruitful harvest.
^38 (D)He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly;
And He does not let their cattle ^(E)decrease.

³⁹ When they are ^(F)diminished and brought low
Through oppression, affliction, and sorrow,
^40 (G)He pours contempt on princes,
And causes them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way;
^41 (H)Yet He sets the poor on high, far from affliction,
And ^(I)makes their families like a flock.
^42 (J)The righteous see it and rejoice,
And all ^(K)iniquity stops its mouth.

^43 (L)Whoever is wise will observe these things,
And they will understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.
