He turns a wilderness into a pool of water and a dry ground into water springs; And there He makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation.  And sow fields, and plant vineyards which yield fruits of increase.  He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and allows not their cattle to decrease.

Yet he raises the poor and needy from affliction and makes their families like a flock.  The upright shall see it and be glad, but all iniquity shall shut its mouth.  Whoso is wise if there be any truly wise will observe and heed these things; and they will diligently consider the mercy and loving-kindness of the Lord.
