36 And there he setteth the hungry: that they may build them a city to dwell in;
37 That they may sow their land, and plant vineyards: to yield them fruits of increase.
38 He blesseth them, so that they multiply exceedingly: and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39 And again, when they are minished and brought low: through oppression, through any plague or trouble;
40 Though he suffer them to be evil intreated through tyrants: and let them wander out of the way in the wilderness;
41 Yet helpeth he the poor out of misery: and maketh him households like a flock of sheep.
42 The righteous will consider this, and rejoice: and the mouth of all wickedness shall be stopped.
43 Whoso is wise will ponder these things: and they shall understand the loving-kindness of the Lord.
