Psalm 107:33-40

New International Version

³³ He turned rivers into a desert,^(A)
    flowing springs^(B) into thirsty ground,
³⁴ and fruitful land into a salt waste,^(C)
    because of the wickedness of those who lived there.
³⁵ He turned the desert into pools of water^(D)
    and the parched ground into flowing springs;^(E)
36 there he brought the hungry to live,
    and they founded a city where they could settle.
³⁷ They sowed fields and planted vineyards^(F)
    that yielded a fruitful harvest;
³⁸ he blessed them, and their numbers greatly increased,^(G)
    and he did not let their herds diminish.^(H)

³⁹ Then their numbers decreased,^(I) and they were humbled^(J)
    by oppression, calamity and sorrow;
⁴⁰ he who pours contempt on nobles^(K)
    made them wander in a trackless waste.^(L)
