They found no city to live in.4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way, they found no city of habitation;

NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
11 Because they had rebelled against the words of God And spurned the counsel of the Most High.11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:11 because they had rebelled against God's words and had despised the advice given by the Most High.11 because they rebelled against the words of God, and condemned the counsel of the Most High.11 Because they had rebelled against the words of �God, and had despised the counsel of the Most High; ...

25 For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind, Which lifted up the waves of the sea.25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.25 He spoke, and a storm began to blow, and it made the waves rise high.25 For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.25 For he speaketh, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof:
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
26 They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths; Their soul melted away in their misery.26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.26 The sailors aboard ship rose toward the sky. They plunged into the depths. Their courage melted in [the face of] disaster.26 They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble.26 They mount up to the heavens, they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble;
27 They reeled and staggered like a drunken man, And were at their wits' end.27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.27 They reeled and staggered like drunks, and all their skills as sailors became useless.27 They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and they are at their wits' end:

29 He caused the storm to be still, So that the waves of the sea were hushed.29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.29 He made the storm calm down, and the waves became still.29 He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.29 He maketh the storm a calm, and the waves thereof are still:
30 Then they were glad because they were quiet, So He guided them to their desired haven.30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.30 The sailors were glad that the storm was quiet. He guided them to the harbor they had longed for.30 Then they are glad because it is calm, so he brings them to their desired haven.30 And they rejoice because they are quiet; and he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

34 A fruitful land into a salt waste, Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.34 and fertile ground into a layer of salt because of the wickedness of the people living there.34 and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.34 A fruitful land into a plain of salt, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 He changes a wilderness into a pool of water And a dry land into springs of water;35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.35 He changes deserts into lakes and dry ground into springs.35 He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs.35 He maketh the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into water-springs;
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
36 And there He makes the hungry to dwell, So that they may establish an inhabited city,36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;36 There he settles those who are hungry, and they build cities to live in.36 There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in,36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation;
37 And sow fields and plant vineyards, And gather a fruitful harvest.37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.37 They plant in fields and vineyards that produce crops.37 sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase.37 And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase;
38 Also He blesses them and they multiply greatly, And He does not let their cattle decrease.38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.38 He blesses them, and their numbers multiply, and he does not allow a shortage of cattle.38 He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn't allow their livestock to decrease.38 And he blesseth them, so that they are multiplied greatly; and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39 When they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, misery and sorrow,39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.39 They became few in number and were humiliated because of oppression, disaster, and sorrow.39 Again, they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.39 And they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, adversity, and sorrow:
40 He pours contempt upon princes And makes them wander in a pathless waste.40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.40 He poured contempt on their influential people and made them stumble around in a pathless desert.40 He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in a trackless waste.40 He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste;
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
41 But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction, And makes his families like a flock.41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.41 But now he lifts needy people high above suffering and makes their families like flocks.41 Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, and increases their families like a flock.41 But he secureth the needy one on high from affliction, and maketh him families like flocks.
42 The upright see it and are glad; But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.42 Decent people will see this and rejoice, but all the wicked people will shut their mouths.42 The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.42 The upright shall see it, and rejoice; and all unrighteousness shall stop its mouth.
43 Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things, And consider the lovingkindnesses of the LORD.43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.43 Let those who [think] they are wise pay attention to these things so that they may understand the LORD's blessings.43 Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of Yahweh. A Song. A Psalm by David.43 Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them understand the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah.
