Psalm 107:35-37
New English Translation
35 As for his people,[a] he turned[b] a desert into a pool of water,
and a dry land into springs of water.
36 He allowed the hungry to settle there,
and they established a city in which to live.
37 They cultivated[c] fields,
and planted vineyards,
which yielded a harvest of fruit.[d]
Footnotes
- Psalm 107:35 tn The words “As for his people” are not included in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied in the translation for the sake of clarity. The psalmist contrasts God’s judgment on his enemies with his blessing of his people. See the note on the word “enemies” in v. 39 for further discussion.
- Psalm 107:35 tn The verbal form appears to be a preterite, which is most naturally taken as narrational. See the note on the word “turned” in v. 33.
- Psalm 107:37 tn Heb “sowed seed in.”
- Psalm 107:37 tn Heb “fruit [as] produce.”
