27 Now when it was decided that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a Centurion from the band of Augustus named Julius.
2 And we boarded a ship of Adramyttium, intending to sail along the coasts of Asia, and launched forth, and had Aristarchus of Macedonia (a Thessalonian) with us.
3 And the next day we arrived at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him liberty to go to his friends, so that they might refresh him.
4 And from there we launched, and sailed to the leeward side of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Then we sailed over the sea, by Cilicia and Pamphilia, and came to Myra, in Lycia.
6 And the Centurion found a ship of Alexandria there, sailing into Italy. And he put us in it.
7 And when we had sailed slowly for many days, and had arrived off Cnidus with difficulty (because the wind did not allow it), we sailed to the leeward side of Crete, near Salmone,
8 And with much difficulty, we sailed beyond it and came to a place called the Fair Havens (near the city, Lasea).
9 So, after much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous (and also because the Fast had now passed), Paul admonished them,
10 saying, “Sirs! I perceive that this voyage will cause injury, and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”
11 But the Centurion believed the governor and the master of the ship rather than those things which were spoken by Paul.
12 And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, many advised to depart from there, if by some means they might reach Phoenix to winter, which is a harbor of Crete, looking toward the southwest and northwest.
13 And when the southern wind blew softly, they determined conditions were right, weighed anchor, and sailed close by Crete.
14 But soon thereafter a stormy wind arose, called Euroclydon.
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not resist the wind, we let her go, and were carried away.
16 And we ran under the shelter of a little isle named Clauda, and had much difficulty securing the skiff,
17 which they took up with everyone’s help. And undergirding the ship (fearing they might have fallen into Syrtis), they set sail and so were carried.
18 The next day, when we were tossed with a strong storm, they lightened the ship.
19 And the third day, we cast out the tackling of the ship with our own hands.
20 And then, when neither Sun nor stars appeared for many days (and no small storm was upon us), all hope that we would be saved was taken away.
7 O LORD my God, in You I put my trust. Save me from all who persecute me, and deliver me,
2 lest he devour my soul like a lion, and tear it in pieces, while there is no one to help.
3 O LORD, my God, if I have done this thing, if there is any wickedness in my hands,
4 if I have rewarded evil to him who had peace with me (indeed, I have delivered him without cause),
5 let the enemies persecute my soul and take it. Indeed, let him tread my life down upon the Earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.
6 Arise, O LORD, in Your wrath, and lift up Yourself against the rage of my enemies. Awaken me to the judgment You have appointed.
7 So shall the congregation of the people surround You. For their sakes, therefore, return on High.
8 The LORD shall judge the people. Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and according to my innocence in me.
9 Oh, let the malice of the wicked come to an end. But guide the just. For the righteous God tries the hearts and reins.
10 My defense is in God, Who preserves the upright in heart.
11 God judges the righteous, and he who denounces God, every day.
12 Unless he turns, He has sharpened His sword. He has bent His bow and made it ready.
13 He has also prepared deadly weapons. He will ordain His arrows for those who persecute.
14 Behold, he shall work with wickedness, for he has conceived mischief. But he shall bring forth a lie.
15 He has made a pit, and dug it, and has fallen into the pit he made.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his cruelty shall fall upon his own head.
17 I will praise the LORD according to His righteousness and will sing praise to the Name of the LORD Most High. To him who excels on Gittith: A Psalm of David.
22 He who finds a wife, finds a good thing; and receives favor from the LORD.
