23 Some awent down to the sea in ships,
doing business on the great waters;
24 they saw the deeds of the Lord,
his wondrous works in the deep.
25 For he acommanded and braised the stormy wind,
which lifted up the waves of the sea.
26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;
their courage amelted away in their evil plight;
27 they reeled and astaggered like drunken men
and bwere at their wits’ end.
28 aThen they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
29 He amade the storm be still,
and the waves of the sea were hushed.
30 Then they were glad that the waters were quiet,
and he brought them to their desired haven.
31 aLet them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wondrous works to the children of man!
32 Let them aextol him in bthe congregation of the people,
and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
