Psalms 107:36-43

36 And there He makes the hungry to dwell, So that they may establish 1an inhabited city,
37 And sow fields and 2plant vineyards, And gather a fruitful harvest.
38 Also He blesses them and they 3multiply greatly, And He 4does not let their cattle decrease.
39 When they are 5diminished and 6bowed down Through oppression, misery and sorrow,
40 He 7pours contempt upon princes And 8makes them wander 9in a pathless * waste.
41 But He 10sets the needy securely on high away from affliction, And 11makes his families like a flock.
42 The 12upright see it and are glad; But all 13unrighteousness shuts its mouth.
43 Who is 14wise? Let him give heed to these things, And consider the 15lovingkindnesses of the LORD.
