Psalms 107:41

³⁹ 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.

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

⁴² The upright see and rejoice, and all iniquity shuts its mouth.

⁴³ Let him who is wise pay heed to these things and consider the loving devotion of the LORD.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
