² Let the redeemed^(C) of the Lord tell their story—
    those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
³ those he gathered^(D) from the lands,
    from east and west, from north and south.^[a]

²³ Some went out on the sea^(A) in ships;^(B)
    they were merchants on the mighty waters.
²⁴ They saw the works of the Lord,^(C)
    his wonderful deeds in the deep.
²⁵ For he spoke^(D) and stirred up a tempest^(E)
    that lifted high the waves.^(F)
26 They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths;
    in their peril^(G) their courage melted^(H) away.
²⁷ They reeled^(I) and staggered like drunkards;
    they were at their wits’ end.
²⁸ Then they cried^(J) out to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he brought them out of their distress.^(K)
29 He stilled the storm^(L) to a whisper;
    the waves^(M) of the sea^[a] were hushed.^(N)
30 They were glad when it grew calm,
    and he guided them^(O) to their desired haven.
³¹ Let them give thanks^(P) to the Lord for his unfailing love^(Q)
    and his wonderful deeds^(R) for mankind.
³² Let them exalt^(S) him in the assembly^(T) of the people
    and praise him in the council of the elders.

37 “At this my heart pounds^(A)
    and leaps from its place.
² Listen!^(B) Listen to the roar of his voice,^(C)
    to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.^(D)
3 He unleashes his lightning^(E) beneath the whole heaven
    and sends it to the ends of the earth.^(F)
4 After that comes the sound of his roar;
    he thunders^(G) with his majestic voice.^(H)
When his voice resounds,
    he holds nothing back.
⁵ God’s voice thunders^(I) in marvelous ways;^(J)
    he does great things beyond our understanding.^(K)
6 He says to the snow,^(L) ‘Fall on the earth,’
    and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’^(M)
7 So that everyone he has made may know his work,^(N)
    he stops all people from their labor.^[a](O)
8 The animals take cover;^(P)
    they remain in their dens.^(Q)
9 The tempest comes out from its chamber,^(R)
    the cold from the driving winds.^(S)
10 The breath of God produces ice,
    and the broad waters become frozen.^(T)
11 He loads the clouds with moisture;^(U)
    he scatters his lightning^(V) through them.^(W)
12 At his direction they swirl around
    over the face of the whole earth
    to do whatever he commands them.^(X)
13 He brings the clouds to punish people,^(Y)
    or to water his earth and show his love.^(Z)
