24. They saw the Lord’s works,His wonderful works in the deep.
25. He spoke and raised a tempestthat stirred up the waves of the sea.
26. Rising up to the sky, sinking down to the depths,their courage melting away in anguish,
27. they reeled and staggered like drunken men,and all their skill was useless.
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 murmur,and the waves of the sea were hushed.
30. They rejoiced when the waves grew quiet.Then He guided them to the harbor they longed for.
31. Let them give thanks to the Lordfor His faithful loveand His wonderful works for all humanity.
32. Let them exalt Him in the assembly of the peopleand praise Him in the council of the elders.
33. He turns rivers into desert,springs of water into thirsty ground,
34. and fruitful land into salty wasteland,because of the wickedness of its inhabitants.
