And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

38

He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

39

Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

    “And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, That they may prepare a city of habitation, And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And get them fruits of increase. He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease. Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow. He poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way. Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, And maketh him families like a flock. The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth. Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah. ”

    “There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in, sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase. He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn't allow their livestock to decrease. Again, they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow. He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in a trackless waste. Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, and increases their families like a flock. The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths. Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of Yahweh. A Song. A Psalm by David.”

  • NET

    “He allowed the hungry to settle there, and they established a city in which to live. They cultivated fields, and planted vineyards, which yielded a harvest of fruit. He blessed them so that they became very numerous. He would not allow their cattle to decrease in number. As for their enemies, they decreased in number and were beaten down, because of painful distress and suffering. He would pour contempt upon princes, and he made them wander in a wasteland with no road. Yet he protected the needy from oppression, and cared for his families like a flock of sheep. When the godly see this, they rejoice, and every sinner shuts his mouth. Whoever is wise, let him take note of these things! Let them consider the LORD’s acts of loyal love!”

  • BBE

    “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.”
