The righteous will confider this, and rejoice and the mouth of all wickedness shall be stopped.

So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble: he delivereth them out of their diftrefs.

Whofo is wife will ponder thefe things: and they fhall understand the loving kindness of the Lord.

For he maketh the ftorm to ceafe fo that the waves thereof are ftill.

Who turneth the floods into a wilderness and drieth up the water-fprings.

A fruitful land maketh he barren for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

Again, he maketh the wildernefs a standing water and water-fprings of a dry ground.

That they may fow their land, and plant vineyards to yield them fruits of increase,

He bleffeth them, fo that they multiply exceedingly and fuffereth not their cattle to decrease.

And again, when they are minished and brought low through oppreffion, through any plague or trouble;

Though he fuffer them to be evil intreated through tyrants: and let them wander out of the way in the wilderness;

Yet helpeth he the poor out of mifery and maketh him houfholds like a flock of fleep.
