00:03:17.451 --> 00:03:21.771 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise 00:03:21.771 --> 00:03:23.601 him in the assembly of the elders. 00:03:25.081 --> 00:03:29.611 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; 00:03:30.521 --> 00:03:34.881 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. 00:03:35.291 --> 00:03:40.131 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. 00:03:41.041 --> 00:03:44.376 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may 00:03:44.376 --> 00:03:46.086 prepare a city for habitation; 00:03:46.706 --> 00:03:51.236 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. 00:03:52.246 --> 00:03:57.586 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth 00:03:57.626 --> 00:03:59.226 not their cattle to decrease. 00:04:00.236 --> 00:04:04.156 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, 00:04:04.186 --> 00:04:05.516 affliction, and sorrow. 00:04:05.786 --> 00:04:10.056 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the 00:04:10.056 --> 00:04:12.076 wilderness, where there is no way. 00:04:13.106 --> 00:04:17.006 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh 00:04:17.036 --> 00:04:18.516 him families like a flock. 00:04:19.466 --> 00:04:24.086 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. 00:04:25.056 --> 00:04:29.619 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand 00:04:29.846 --> 00:04:31.636 the lovingkindness of the Lord.
