Psalm 107:36-38
New Catholic Bible
36 [a]There he provides the hungry with a home,
and they build a city where they can settle.

that yield crops for the harvest.
38 He blesses them and they greatly increase in number,
and he does not let their cattle decrease.
Footnotes
- Psalm 107:36 These verses are written in general terms; however, scholars believe the psalmist is most likely referring here to the settlement and development of the Promised Land (vv. 36ff), the hardships during the Assyrian and Babylonian invasions (v. 39), the humiliation and exile of the last kings of Judah (v. 40), and the restoration of Zion after the Exile (v. 41).
