21. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing loveand his wonderful deeds for mankind.
22. Let them sacrifice thank-offeringsand tell of his works with songs of joy.
23. Some went out on the sea in ships;they were merchants on the mighty waters.
24. They saw the works of the Lord,his wonderful deeds in the deep.
25. For he spoke and stirred up a tempestthat lifted high the waves.
26. They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths;in their peril their courage melted away.
27. They reeled and staggered like drunkards;they were at their wits’ end.
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 whisper;the waves of the sea were hushed.
