Psalm 107:32-39 New International Version (NIV)

32. Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the council of the elders.

33. He turned rivers into a desert, flowing springs into thirsty ground,

34. and fruitful land into a salt waste, because of the wickedness of those who lived there.

35. He turned the desert into pools of water and the parched ground into flowing springs;

36. there he brought the hungry to live, and they founded a city where they could settle.

37. They sowed fields and planted vineyards that yielded a fruitful harvest;

38. he blessed them, and their numbers greatly increased, and he did not let their herds diminish.

39. Then their numbers decreased, and they were humbled by oppression, calamity and sorrow;
