Psalm 107:20-32 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

20. He gave his command and healed them. He saved them from the grave.

21. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the miracles he does for his people.

22. Let them sacrifice thank offerings. Let them talk about what he has done as they sing with joy.

23. Others sailed out on the ocean in ships. They traded goods on the mighty waters.

24. They saw the works of the Lord. They saw the miracles he did on the ocean.

25. He spoke and stirred up a storm. It lifted the waves high.

26. They rose up to the heavens. Then they went down deep into the ocean. In that kind of danger the people's boldness melted away.

27. They were unsteady like those who get drunk. They didn't know what to do.

28. Then they cried out to the Lord because of their problems. And he brought them out of their troubles.

29. He made the storm as quiet as a whisper. The waves of the ocean calmed down.

30. The people were glad when the ocean became calm. Then he guided them to the harbor they were looking for.

31. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the miracles he does for his people.

32. Let them honor him among his people who gather for worship. Let them praise him in the meeting of the elders.
