25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind,

Which lifteth up the waves thereof.

26They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths:

Their soul melteth away because of trouble.

27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,

And are at their wits’ end.

28Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble,

And he bringeth them out of their distresses.

29He maketh the storm a calm,

So that the waves thereof are still.

30Then are they glad because they are quiet;

So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

31Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,

And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

32Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people,

And praise him in the seat of the elders.

33He turneth rivers into a wilderness,

And watersprings into a thirsty ground;

34A fruitful land into a salt desert,

For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

35He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water,

And a dry land into watersprings.

36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell,

That they may prepare a city of habitation,

37And sow fields, and plant vineyards,

And get them fruits of increase.

38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;

And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
