Psalms 107:39

³⁷ They sow fields and plant vineyards that yield a fruitful harvest.

³⁸ He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; He does not let their herds diminish.

When they are decreased and humbled by oppression, evil, and sorrow,

⁴⁰ He pours out contempt on the nobles and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.

⁴¹ But He lifts the needy from affliction and increases their families like flocks.
