23 Others went to sea in ships,

conducting trade on the vast water.s

24 They saw the Lord’s works,

his wondrous works in the deep.t

25 He spoke and raised a stormy wind

that stirred up the waves of the sea.D,u

26 Rising up to the sky, sinking down to the depths,

their courageE melting away in anguish,v

27 they reeled and staggered like a drunkard,

and all their skill was useless.w

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
