Texts -- Psalms 107:32-43 (NET)

Context
107:32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people ! Let them praise him in the place where the leaders preside ! 107:33 He turned streams into a desert , springs of water into arid land , 107:34 and a fruitful land into a barren place , because of the sin of its inhabitants . 107:35 As for his people, he turned a desert into a pool of water , and a dry land into springs of water . 107:36 He allowed the hungry to settle there , and they established a city in which to live . 107:37 They cultivated fields , and planted vineyards , which yielded a harvest of fruit . 107:38 He blessed them so that they became very numerous . He would not allow their cattle to decrease in number . 107:39 As for their enemies, they decreased in number and were beaten down , because of painful distress and suffering . 107:40 He would pour contempt upon princes , and he made them wander in a wasteland with no road . 107:41 Yet he protected the needy from oppression , and cared for his families like a flock of sheep. 107:42 When the godly see this, they rejoice , and every sinner shuts his mouth . 107:43 Whoever is wise , let him take note of these things ! Let them consider the Lord’s acts of loyal love !
