Psalm 107:23-29

International Standard Version

²³ Those who go down to the sea in ships,
    who work in the great waters,
²⁴ witnessed the works of the Lord—
    his awesome deeds in the ocean’s depth.
²⁵ He spoke and stirred up a windstorm
    that made its waves surge.
²⁶ The people^[a] ascended skyward and descended to the depths,
    their courage^[b] melting away in their peril.
²⁷ They reeled and staggered like a drunkard,
    as all their wisdom became useless.
²⁸ Yet when they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
    the Lord brought them out of their distress.
²⁹ He calmed the storm
    and its waves^[c] quieted down.
