Psalms 107:37-43

37 They planted seeds in the fields and vineyards, and they had a good harvest.
38 God blessed them, and they grew in number. Their cattle did not become fewer.
39 Because of disaster, troubles, and sadness, their families grew smaller and weaker.
40 He showed he was displeased with their leaders and made them wander in a pathless desert.
41 But he lifted the poor out of their suffering and made their families grow like flocks of sheep.
42 Good people see this and are happy, but the wicked say nothing.
43 Whoever is wise will remember these things and will think about the love of the Lord. A song. A psalm of David.
