107:035 He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs. 107:036 There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in, 107:037 sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase. 107:038 He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn't allow their livestock to decrease. 107:039 Again, they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow. 107:040 He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in a trackless waste. 107:041 Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, and increases their families like a flock. 107:042 The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths. 107:043 Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of Yahweh. 108:001 <<A Song. A Psalm by David.>> My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul. 108:002 Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn. 108:003 I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples. 108:004 For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. 108:005 Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth. 108:006 That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us. 108:007 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth. 108:008 Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is my helmet. Judah is my scepter. 108:009 Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over Philistia." 108:010 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom? 108:011 Haven't you rejected us, God? You don't go forth, God, with our armies. 108:012 Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain. 108:013 Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will tread down our enemies. 109:001 <<For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.>> God of my praise, don't remain silent, 109:002 for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue. 109:003 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause. 109:004 In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer. 109:005 They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. 109:006 Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand. 109:007 When he is judged, let him come forth guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin. 109:008 Let his days be few. Let another take his office. 109:009 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. 109:010 Let his children be wandering beggars.
