[ 35] Dry grounds by show'rs sent from above,
And flowing Springs fair Pastures prove:
[ 36] Thither the poor for dwellings flow,
Which after to a City grow.
[ 37] They sow the Fields, and Vineyards plant,
Whose Fruits supply their growing want.
[ 38] Their Race springs fast from fruitful stocks,
Their wealth increases with their flocks.
[ 39] Thus are they blest; but when they sin,
They're punish'd and brought low again.
[ 40] Ev'n Princes are expos'd to scorn.
And wander in a state forlorn.
[ 41] But he exalts the poor on high,
And spreads their num'rous Family.
[ 42] The Just with gladness this shall see,
And wickedness shall silent be.
[ 43] How few there are with care record
These wond'rous dealings of the Lord!
But wise Observers still shall find,
That God is infinitely kind.
