Psalms 107:32-1964 in the Bible in Basic English reads: “Let them give glory to him in the meeting of the people, and praise among the chiefs. He makes rivers into waste places, and springs of water into a dry land; He makes a fertile country into a salt waste, because of the sins of those who are living there. He makes a waste land into a place of water, and a dry land into water-springs. And there he gives the poor a resting-place, so that they may make themselves a town; And put seed in the fields and make vine-gardens, to give them fruit. He gives them his blessing so that they are increased greatly, and their cattle do not become less. And when they are made low, and crushed by trouble and sorrow, He puts an end to the pride of kings, and sends them wandering in the waste lands where there is no way. But he puts the poor man on high from his troubles, and gives him families like a flock. The upright see it and are glad: the mouth of the sinner is stopped. Let the wise give thought to these things, and see the mercies of the Lord.”
