Psalms:107:31-43
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness ,
and for his wonderful works to the children of men !
*
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people ,
and praise him in the assembly of the elders .
*
He turneth rivers into a wilderness ,
and the watersprings into dry ground ;
*
A fruitful land into barrenness ,
for the wickedness of them that dwell therein .
*
He turneth the wilderness into a standing water ,
and dry ground into watersprings .
*
And there he maketh the hungry to dwell ,
that they may prepare a city for habitation ;
*
And sow the fields ,
and plant vineyards ,
which may yield fruits of increase .
*
He blesseth them also ,
so that they are multiplied greatly ;
and suffereth not their cattle to decrease .
*
Again ,
they are minished and brought low through oppression ,
affliction ,
and sorrow .
*
He poureth contempt upon princes ,
and causeth them to wander in the wilderness ,
where there is no way .
*
Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction ,
and maketh him families like a flock .
*
The righteous shall see it ,
and rejoice :
and all iniquity shall stop her mouth .
*
Whoso is wise ,
and will observe these things ,
even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD .
