Psalms 107:42

Compare all

40 ^aHe pours contempt on princes,
And causes them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way;

41 ^aYet He sets the poor on high, far from affliction,
And ^bmakes their families like a flock.

42 ^aThe righteous see it and rejoice,
And all ^biniquity stops its mouth.

43 ^aWhoever is wise will observe these things,
And they will understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.

Psalms 107:42

The righteous shall see it, and rejoice - Shall see all these changes; shall see in their own case the proofs of the divine favor. They shall thus have occasion for praise.

And all iniquity shall stop her mouth - The wicked shall be silenced; they shall be dumb. The righteous shall find, in these varied scenes, occasion for praise and joy; the wicked shall be able to find no occasion for complaining or murmuring. The divine dealings shall be manifestly so just, and so worthy of universal approval, that, even though the wicked are disposed to complain against God, they will be able to find nothing which will justify them in such complaints.
