36 There he makes the hungry to live,    That they may prepare a city to live in,
         
                                
                        37 Sow fields, plant vineyards,    And reap the fruits of increase.
         
                                
                        38 He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly.    He doesn`t allow their cattle to decrease.
         
                                
                        39 Again, they are diminished and bowed down    Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
         
                                
                        40 He pours contempt on princes,    And causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
         
                                
                        41 Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction,    And increases their families like a flock.
         
                                
                        42 The upright will see it, and be glad.    All the wicked will shut their mouths.
