SEV Biblia, Chapter 107:36

Y aposenta allí hambrientos, y aderezan allí ciudad para habitación;

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 106:36

Verse 36. And there he maketh the hungry to dwell ] All this seems to apply admirably to the first colonists of any place. They flee from a land of want, an ingrata terra that did not repay their toil, and they seek the wilderness where the land wants only cultivation to make it produce all the necessaries of life. He, by his providence, so guides their steps as to lead them to rivers which they can navigate, and from which they can procure plenty of fish, and shows them wells or springs which they have not digged. The hungry dwell there; and jointly agree, for convenience and defense, to build them a city for habitation. They sow the fields which they have cleared; and plant vineyards, and orchards which yield them in creasing fruits, ver. 37, and he multiplies their cattle greatly, and does not suffer them to decrease, ver. 38. What a fine picture is this of the first peopling and planting of America, and of the multiplication and extension of that people; of the Divine blessing on their industry, and the general and astonishing prosperity of their country! May they never again know what is spoken in the following verse:

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 33-43 - What surprising changes are often made in the affairs of men! Let the present desolate state of Judea, and of other countries, explain this If we look abroad in the world, we see many greatly increase, whose beginning was small. We see many who have thus suddenly risen, a suddenly brought to nothing. Worldly wealth is uncertain; often thos who are filled with it, ere they are aware, lose it again. God has man ways of making men poor. The righteous shall rejoice. It shall full convince all those who deny the Divine Providence. When sinners see ho justly God takes away the gifts they have abused, they will not have word to say. It is of great use to us to be fully assured of God' goodness, and duly affected with it. It is our wisdom to mind our duty and to refer our comfort to him. A truly wise person will treasure in his heart this delightful psalm. From it, he will fully understand the weakness and wretchedness of man, and the power and loving-kindness of God, not for our merit, but for his mercy's sake __________________________________________________________________
