32 Let them in presence of the folke, with prayse extoll his name:
And where the elders doo conuent, let them there doo the same.
[verse 33]
For running floods to dry desertes, he doeth oft change and turne:
And dryeth vp, as it were dust, the springing well and burne.
[verse 34]
A frutefull land with pleasures deckt, full barren doeth he make.
When on their sinnes, which dwell therin he doeth iust vengeance take.
[verse 35]
Againe the wildernes full rude, he maketh frute to beare:
With pleasant springs of water cleare though none before were there.
[verse 36]
Wherin suche hungrye soules are set, as he doeth freely chuse,
That they a citie may them buylde to dwell in for theyr vse.

whereas the wicked and peruerse, with grief shall stop theyr voyce.
[verse 43]
But who is wise that now full well, he may these thinges recorde?
For certeinly suche shall perceyue, the kindnes of the Lorde.
