Psalms 107:37-42
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 107
37And sow fields and plant vineyards, And gather a fruitful harvest. 38He also blesses them and they multiply greatly, And He does not let their cattle decrease. 39When they become few and lowly Because of oppression, misery, and sorrow, 40He pours contempt upon noblemen And makes them wander in a pathless wasteland. 41But He sets the needy securely on high, away from affliction, And makes his families like a flock. 42The upright see it and are glad; But all injustice shuts its mouth.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
38He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; he does not let their livestock decrease.
39When they are diminished and are humbled by cruel oppression and sorrow,
40he pours contempt on nobles and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.
41But he lifts the needy out of their suffering and makes their families multiply like flocks.
New Living Translation
Chapter 107
37They sow their fields, plant their vineyards, and harvest their bumper crops. 38How he blesses them! They raise large families there, and their herds of livestock increase.
39When they decrease in number and become impoverished through oppression, trouble, and sorrow,
40the Lord pours contempt on their princes, causing them to wander in trackless wastelands.
41But he rescues the poor from trouble and increases their families like flocks of sheep.
42The godly will see these things and be glad, while the wicked are struck silent.
English Standard Version
Chapter 107
37they sow fields and plant vineyards and get a fruitful yield. 38 By his blessing they multiply greatly, and he does not let their livestock diminish. 39When they are diminished and brought low through oppression, evil, and sorrow, 40 he pours contempt on princes and makes them wander in trackless wastes; 41but he raises up the needy out of affliction and makes their families like flocks. 42 The upright see it and are glad, and all wickedness shuts its mouth.New International Version
38he blessed them, and their numbers greatly increased, and he did not let their herds diminish.
39Then their numbers decreased, and they were humbled by oppression, calamity and sorrow;
40he who pours contempt on nobles made them wander in a trackless waste.
41But he lifted the needy out of their affliction and increased their families like flocks.
New King James Version
