23 (NIV) Others went out on
the sea in ships; they were merchants on the
mighty waters. 24 They saw the works of the LORD, his
wonderful deeds in the deep. 25 For he spoke and
stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves. 26 They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths; in their peril their courage melted away. 27
They reeled and staggered like drunken men; they were at their wits' end. 28 Then they cried out to the LORD
in their trouble, and he brought them out of their
distress. 29 He stilled the storm to a
whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. 30
They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to
their desired haven. 31 Let them give thanks to the LORD
for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds
for men.
