Psalms 107:23-30

23Some went off to sea in ships, plying the trade routes of the world.

24They, too, observed the Lord’s power in action, his impressive works on the deepest seas.

25He spoke, and the winds rose, stirring up the waves.

26Their ships were tossed to the heavens and plunged again to the depths; the sailors cringed in terror.

27They reeled and staggered like drunkards and were at their wits’ end.

28“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.

29He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves.

30What a blessing was that stillness as he brought them safely into harbor!
