Psalms 107:32–36 · Berean Standard Bible

32 Let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people and praise Him in the council of the elders.

33 He turns rivers into deserts, springs of water into thirsty ground,

34 and fruitful land into fields of salt, because of the wickedness of its dwellers.

35 He turns a desert into pools of water and a dry land into flowing springs.

36 He causes the hungry to settle there, that they may establish a city in which to dwell.
