24. They saw the works of the Lord,the wonders of God in the deep.
25. He commanded and roused a storm wind;it tossed the waves on high.
26. They rose up to the heavens, sank to the depths;their hearts trembled at the danger.
27. They reeled, staggered like drunkards;their skill was of no avail.
28. In their distress they cried to the Lord,who brought them out of their peril;
29. He hushed the storm to silence,the waves of the sea were stilled.
30. They rejoiced that the sea grew calm,that God brought them to the harbor they longed for.
31. Let them thank the Lord for his mercy,such wondrous deeds for the children of Adam.
32. Let them extol him in the assembly of the people,and praise him in the council of the elders.
33. God changed rivers into desert,springs of water into thirsty ground,
34. Fruitful land into a salty waste,because of the wickedness of its people.
35. He changed the desert into pools of water,arid land into springs of water,
36. And settled the hungry there;they built a city to live in.
