The floods have lifted up their voice;
The floods lift up their waves.
(A)The Lord on high is mightier
Than the noise of many waters,
Than the mighty waves of the sea.

  1. Psalm 93:3 raised up

14 But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called [a]Euroclydon. 15 So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her [b]drive. 16 And running under the shelter of an island called [c]Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty. 17 When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the [d]Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven. 18 And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship. 19 On the third day (A)we threw the ship’s tackle overboard with our own hands. 20 Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.

O arm of the Lord!
Awake (C)as in the ancient days,

The waters of the great deep;
That made the depths of the sea a road
For the redeemed to cross over?

  1. Psalm 124:4 swept over

23 Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters,
24 They see the works of the Lord,
And His wonders in the deep.
25 For He commands and (A)raises the stormy wind,
Which lifts up the waves of the sea.
26 They mount up to the heavens,
They go down again to the depths;
(B)Their soul melts because of trouble.
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
And [a]are at their wits’ end.
28 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brings them out of their distresses.
29 (C)He calms the storm,
So that its waves are still.
30 Then they are glad because they are quiet;
So He guides them to their desired haven.
