Psalms 107:40 Context
38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly: and suffreth not their cattell to decrease. 39Againe, they are minished and brought lowe through oppression, affliction and sorrow. 40Hee powreth contempt vpon princes: and causeth them to wander in the wildernesse, where there is no way. 41Yet setteth he the poore on high from affliction: and maketh him families like a flocke. 42The righteous shall see it, and reioyce; and all iniquitie shall stop her mouth.
