Psalm 107:23-32

The Voice

²³ Some set out to sea in ships,
    traveling across mighty seas in order to trade in foreign lands.
²⁴ They witnessed the powerful acts of the Eternal,
    marveled at the great wonders He revealed over the deep waters.
²⁵ For He spoke and summoned a violent wind
    that whipped up the waves of the sea.
²⁶ Relentless waves lifted the ships high in the sky, then drove them down to the depths;
    the sailors’ courage dissolved into misery.
²⁷ They staggered and stumbled around like drunkards,
    and they had no idea what to do.
²⁸ In their distress, they called out to the Eternal,
    and He saved them from their misery.
²⁹ He commanded the storm to calm down, and it became still.
    A hush came over the waves of the sea,
³⁰ The sailors were delighted at the quiet,
    and He guided them to their port.
³¹ May they erupt with praise and give thanks to the Eternal
    in honor of His loyal love
And all the wonders He has performed for humankind!
³² Let them glorify Him in the assembly of His people
    and worship Him in the presence of the elders.
