Psalm 107
Thanksgiving for deliverance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is God\u2019s message to the sons of Israel; the good news of peace proclaimed through Jesus Christ<\/em> (Acts 10:36).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

III<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He changes streams into a desert, *
springs of water into thirsty ground,
fruitful land into a salty waste, *
for the wickedness of those who live there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he changes desert into streams, *
thirsty ground into springs of water.
There he settles the hungry *
and they build a city to dwell in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They sow fields and plant their vines; *
these yield crops for the harvest.
He blesses them; they grow in numbers. *
He does not let their herds decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He pours contempt upon princes, *
makes them wander in trackless wastes.
They diminish, are reduced to nothing *
by oppression, evil and sorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he raises the needy from distress; *
makes families numerous as a flock.
The upright see it and rejoice *
but all who do wrong are silenced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whoever is wise, let him heed these things *
and consider the love of the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15943,"template":"","rizors":[],"yoast_head":"\nHe blesses them; they grow in numbers - Behold<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/behold.mt\/en\/talba-bis-salmi\/he-blesses-them-they-grow-in-numbers\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"He blesses them; they grow in numbers - Behold\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Office of the reading, Saturday 21st June 2025 Psalm 107Thanksgiving for deliverance This is God\u2019s message to the sons of Israel; the good news of peace proclaimed through Jesus Christ (Acts 10:36).
