When they are decreased and humbled by oppression, evil, and sorrow,
Psalm 107:39 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 107.
35 He turns a desert into pools of water and a dry land into flowing springs.
36 He causes the hungry to settle there, that they may establish a city in which to dwell.
37 They sow fields and plant vineyards that yield a fruitful harvest.
38 He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; He does not let their herds diminish.
39 When they are decreased and humbled by oppression, evil, and sorrow,
40 He pours out contempt on the nobles and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.
41 But He lifts the needy from affliction and increases their families like flocks.
42 The upright see and rejoice, and all iniquity shuts its mouth.
43 Let him who is wise pay heed to these things and consider the loving devotion of the LORD.
