Psalm 107:23-30

Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So

23 Some q went down to the sea in ships,
doing business on the great waters;
24 they saw the deeds of the Lord,
his wondrous works in the deep.
25 For he r commanded and s raised the stormy wind,
which lifted up the waves of the sea.
26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;
their courage t melted away in their evil plight;
27 they reeled and u staggered like drunken men
and v were at their wits' end. 1
28 w Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
29 He x made the storm be still,
and the waves of the sea were hushed.
30 Then they were glad that the waters 2 were quiet,
and he brought them to their desired haven.
