    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;

30 They rejoiced that the sea grew calm,
    that God brought them to the harbor they longed for.
