Psalm 107:17-32

English Standard Version

¹⁷ Some were ^(A)fools through their sinful ways,
    and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;
^18 (B)they loathed any kind of food,
    and they ^(C)drew near to ^(D)the gates of death.
^19 (E)Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he delivered them from their distress.
²⁰ He ^(F)sent out his word and ^(G)healed them,
    and ^(H)delivered them from their destruction.
^21 (I)Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
    for his wondrous works to the children of man!
²² And let them ^(J)offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,
    and ^(K)tell of his deeds in ^(L)songs of joy!

²³ Some ^(M)went down to the sea in ships,
    doing business on the great waters;
²⁴ they saw the deeds of the Lord,
    his wondrous works in the deep.
²⁵ For he ^(N)commanded and ^(O)raised the stormy wind,
    which lifted up the waves of the sea.
²⁶ They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;
    their courage ^(P)melted away in their evil plight;
²⁷ they reeled and ^(Q)staggered like drunken men
    and ^(R)were at their wits' end.^[a]
28 (S)Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he delivered them from their distress.
²⁹ He ^(T)made the storm be still,
    and the waves of the sea were hushed.
³⁰ Then they were glad that the waters^[b] were quiet,
    and he brought them to their desired haven.
^31 (U)Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
    for his wondrous works to the children of man!
³² Let them ^(V)extol him in ^(W)the congregation of the people,
    and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
