Psalm 107:20-30

Contemporary English Version

²¹ You should praise the Lord
    for his love
and for the wonderful things
    he does for all of us.
²² You should celebrate
    by offering sacrifices
and singing joyful songs
    to tell what he has done.

²³ Some of you made a living
    by sailing the mighty sea,
²⁴ and you saw the miracles
    the Lord performed there.
²⁵ At his command a storm arose,
    and waves covered the sea.
²⁶ You were tossed to the sky
    and to the ocean depths,
until things looked so bad
    that you lost your courage.
²⁷ You staggered like drunkards
    and gave up all hope.
²⁸ You were in serious trouble,
but you prayed to the Lord,
    and he rescued you.
²⁹ He made the storm stop
    and the sea be quiet.
³⁰ You were happy because of this,
and he brought you to the port
    where you wanted to go.
