Psalms 107:29-43
-
29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
-
30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
-
31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
-
32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
-
33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
-
34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
-
35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
-
36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
-
37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
-
38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
-
39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
-
40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
-
41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
-
42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
-
43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
