Psalm 107:33-43 Posuit flumina
33 The LORD changed rivers in-to de-serts, *
and water-springs into thirs-ty ground,
34 A fruitful land in-to salt flats, *
because of the wickedness of those who dwell there.
35 She changed deserts into pools of wa-ter *
and dry land in-to wa-ter-springs.
36 She settled the hun-gry there, *
and they founded a city to dwell in.
37 They sowed fields, and plan-ted vine-yards, *
and brought in a fruit-ful har-vest.
38 She blessed them, so that they in-creased great-ly; *
she did not let their herds de-crease.
39 Yet when they were diminished and brought low, *
through stress of adversity and sor-row,
40 (She pours contempt on prin-ces *
and makes them wander in track-less wastes)
41 She lifted up the poor out of mi-sery *
and multiplied their families like flocks of sheep.
42 The upright will see this and re-joice, *
but all wickedness will shut its mouth.
43 Whoever is wise will ponder these things, *
and consider well the mercies of the LORD.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Ho-ly Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. A-men.
