Psalms 107:23-31

23Some people were traders who travelled far across the sea in ships.

24They saw the great things that the Lord did, even in the middle of the deep seas.

25He would command a storm to come, so that the wind caused big waves to rise up.

26The waves threw the ships up high in the air, then dropped them deep down. The danger made the sailors afraid, and they thought that they would die.

27Like drunk people, they could not stand or walk properly. They did not know what to do!

28Because of their trouble, they called to the Lord for help. He rescued them from their troubles.

29He caused the storm to stop, so that the waves became quiet.

30The sailors were happy when it became quiet. God led them safely to the port, where they wanted to go.

31So they should thank the Lord because of his faithful love. They should thank him for the great things that he does for people.
