Psalm 107:33-43

Revised Standard Version RSV

33 He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground,

34 a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the wickedness of its inhabitants.

35 He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water.

36 And there he lets the hungry dwell, and they establish a city to live in;

37 they sow fields, and plant vineyards, and get a fruitful yield.

38 By his blessing they multiply greatly; and he does not let their cattle decrease.

39 When they are diminished and brought low through oppression, trouble, and sorrow,

40 he pours contempt upon princes and makes them wander in trackless wastes;

41 but he raises up the needy out of affliction, and makes their families like flocks.

42 The upright see it and are glad; and all wickedness stops its mouth.

43 Whoever is wise, let him give heed to these things; let men consider the steadfast love of the LORD.

New International Version NIV

33 He turned rivers into a desert, flowing springs into thirsty ground,

34 and fruitful land into a salt waste, because of the wickedness of those who lived there.

35 He turned the desert into pools of water and the parched ground into flowing springs;

36 there he brought the hungry to live, and they founded a city where they could settle.

37 They sowed fields and planted vineyards that yielded a fruitful harvest;

38 he blessed them, and their numbers greatly increased, and he did not let their herds diminish.

39 Then their numbers decreased, and they were humbled by oppression, calamity and sorrow;

40 he who pours contempt on nobles made them wander in a trackless waste.

41 But he lifted the needy out of their affliction and increased their families like flocks.

42 The upright see and rejoice, but all the wicked shut their mouths.

43 Let the one who is wise heed these things and ponder the loving deeds of the LORD.
