Psalm 107:23-30
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
23 Some went down to the sea in ships,
doing business on the mighty waters;
24 they saw the deeds of the Lord,
his wondrous works in the deep.
25 For he commanded and raised the stormy wind,
which lifted up the waves of the sea.(A)
26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;
their courage melted away in their calamity;(B)
27 they reeled and staggered like drunkards
and were at their wits’ end.(C)
28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he brought them out from their distress;
29 he made the storm be still,
and the waves of the sea were hushed.(D)
30 Then they were glad because they had quiet,
and he brought them to their desired haven.
Psalm 107:33-37
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
33 He turns rivers into a desert,
springs of water into thirsty ground,(A)
34 a fruitful land into a salty waste,
because of the wickedness of its inhabitants.(B)
35 He turns a desert into pools of water,
a parched land into springs of water.(C)
36 And there he lets the hungry live,
and they establish a town to live in;
37 they sow fields and plant vineyards
and get a fruitful yield.(D)
