Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron—

They that go down to the sea in ships, That do business in great waters—

—

107:24

These saw the works of the LORD, And His wonders in the deep;

—

107:25

For He commanded, and raised the stormy wind, Which lifted up the waves thereof;

—

107:26

They mounted up to the heaven, they went down to the deeps; Their soul melted away because of trouble;

—

107:27

They reeled to and fro, and staggered like a drunken man, And all their wisdom was swallowed up—

—

107:28

They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, And He brought them out of their distresses.

He turneth rivers into a wilderness, And watersprings into a thirsty ground;

—

107:34

A fruitful land into a salt waste, For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

—

107:35

He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into watersprings.

—

107:36

And there He maketh the hungry to dwell, And they establish a city of habitation;

—

107:37

And sow fields, and plant vineyards, Which yield fruits of increase.

—

107:38

He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, And suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

He poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.

The upright see it, and are glad; And all iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, And let them consider the mercies of the LORD.
