A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for the Sanctuary

15 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground | in--to | water

springs. 16 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for | hab-i--tation;

17 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield | fruits of | increase. 18 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their | cat--tle to de- |-crease.

19 Again they are minished and brought low through oppression, af- | -fliction, · and |

sorrow.

20 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, | where · there | is · no | way.

21 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families | like a | flock.

22 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all in- | -iquity · shall | stop her | mouth.

23 Whoso is wise, and will ob- | -serve these things,

24 Even they shall understand the loving-| -kind- · -ness | of the | LORD.
