IV

23 Some went off to sea in ships,
    plied their trade on the deep waters.(A)
24 They saw the works of the Lord,
    the wonders of God in the deep.
25 He commanded and roused a storm wind;
    it tossed the waves on high.(B)
26 They rose up to the heavens, sank to the depths;
    their hearts trembled at the danger.
27 They reeled, staggered like drunkards;
    their skill was of no avail.(C)
28 In their distress they cried to the Lord,
    who brought them out of their peril;
29 He hushed the storm to silence,
    the waves of the sea were stilled.(D)
30 They rejoiced that the sea grew calm,
    that God brought them to the harbor they longed for.

    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.
