Psalm 107:33-41

« Psalm 106Psalm 107Psalm 108 »

He ¹^amakes rivers into a ²wilderness

And springs of water into a thirsty ground;

A ^afruitful land into a ^bsalt waste,

Because of the evil of those who inhabited it.

He ^amakes a wilderness into a pool of water

And a dry land into springs of water;

And there He causes the hungry to inhabit,

So that they may establish ^aan inhabited city,

And sow fields and ^aplant vineyards,

And produce a fruitful harvest.

Also He blesses them and they ^amultiply greatly,

And He ^bdoes not let their cattle decrease.

But when they ^adecrease and are ^bbowed down

Through oppression, evil, and sorrow,

He ^apours contempt upon nobles

And ^bmakes them wander ^cin a pathless void.

But He ^asets the needy ¹securely on high away from affliction,

And ^bmakes his families like a flock.

Psalm 113:7-9

« Psalm 112Psalm 113Psalm 114 »

Who ^araises the poor from the dust

And lifts high the needy from the ash heap,

To make them ^asit with ¹nobles,

With the ¹nobles of His people.

He ^amakes the barren woman of the house sit

As a glad mother of children.

¹Praise Yah!

Ecclesiastes 9:11

« Eccles 8Eccles 9Eccles 10 »

11 I again saw under the sun that the ^arace is not to the swift and the ^bbattle is not to the mighty, and neither is bread to the wise nor ^criches to the discerning nor favor to men who know; for time and ^dmisfortune overtake them all.
