Through My Bible – September 22

Psalms 107:33-43 (EHV)



See series: Through My Bible

³³ He turned rivers into a wilderness

and flowing springs into thirsty ground.

³⁴ He turned fruitful land into a salt waste,

because of the wickedness of those who lived in it.

³⁵ He turned the wilderness into pools of water

and the desert into flowing springs.

³⁶ Then he let the hungry live there,

and they founded a city where they could live.

³⁷ Then they sowed fields, and they planted vineyards,

    which produced abundant fruit.

³⁸ Then he blessed them, so they increased greatly in number.

He did not let their herds of cattle decrease.

³⁹ But then their numbers decreased,

and they were humbled by oppression, disaster, and sorrow.

⁴⁰ He who pours contempt on nobles made them wander in confusion

    where there was no road.

⁴¹ But he lifted up the needy out of affliction

and made their families like a flock.

⁴² The upright see and rejoice,

but all wickedness shuts its mouth.

⁴³ Whoever is wise, let him keep these things.

Let them take to heart the mercies of the Lord.
