28 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

and he brought them out of their distress.x

29 He stilled the storm to a whisper,

and the waves of the sea were hushed.y

30 They rejoiced when the waves grew quiet.

Then he guided them to the harbor they longed for.z

31 Let them give thanks to the Lord

for his faithful love

and his wondrous works for all humanity.aa

32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people

and praise him in the council of the elders.ab

33 He turns rivers into desert,

springs into thirsty ground,ac

34 and fruitful land into salty wasteland,

because of the wickedness of its inhabitants.ad

35 He turns a desert into a pool,

dry land into springs.ae
