Psalm 107:39-41

New International Reader's Version

³⁹ Then the number of God’s people got smaller.
    They were made humble by trouble, suffering and sorrow.
⁴⁰ The God who looks down on proud nobles
    made them wander in a desert where no one lives.
⁴¹ But he lifted needy people out of their suffering.
    He made their families increase like flocks of sheep.
