Psalms 107:39-42

Psalms 107

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

39When they are decreased and humbled by oppression, evil, and sorrow,

40He pours out contempt on the nobles and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.

41But He lifts the needy from affliction and increases their families like flocks.

42The upright see and rejoice, and all iniquity shuts its mouth.
