23 Those who go down to the sea in ships,
    who work in the great waters,
24 witnessed the works of the Lord
    his awesome deeds in the ocean’s depth.
25 He spoke and stirred up a windstorm
    that made its waves surge.
26 The people[a] ascended skyward and descended to the depths,
    their courage[b] melting away in their peril.
27 They reeled and staggered like a drunkard,
    as all their wisdom became useless.
28 Yet when they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
    the Lord brought them out of their distress.
29 He calmed the storm
    and its waves[c] quieted down.
30 So they rejoiced that the waves[d] became quiet,
    and he led them to their desired haven.

31 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his gracious love
    and for his awesome deeds on behalf of mankind.
32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people
    and praise him in the counsel of the elders.
