38. Also He blesses them and they multiply greatly, And He does not let their cattle decrease.
39. When they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, misery and sorrow,
40. He pours contempt upon princes And makes them wander in a pathless waste.
41. But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction, And makes his families like a flock.
42. The upright see it and are glad; But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.
43. Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things, And consider the lovingkindnesses of the Lord.
