Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

107 Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,
for his loyal love is forever.
² Let the redeemed of Yahweh declare^[a] it,
those whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy
³ and gathered from the lands,
from east and from west, from north and from south.^[b]

²³ Those who went down to the sea into ships,
doing business on the high seas,^[a]
24 they saw the works of Yahweh,
and his wonderful deeds in the deep.
²⁵ For he spoke and raised up a stormy wind,
and it whipped up its waves.
²⁶ They rose to the heavens; they plunged to the depths.
Their soul melted in their calamity.
²⁷ They reeled and staggered like a drunkard,
and they were at their wits’ end.^[b]
28 Then they cried out to Yahweh in their trouble,
and he brought them out of their distresses.
²⁹ He made the storm be still
and their waves became calm.
³⁰ Then they were glad because they grew silent,
so he guided them to their desired harbor.
³¹ Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his loyal love
and his wonderful deeds for the children of humankind,
³² and let them exalt him in the congregation of the people,
and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

37 “About this also my heart trembles,
and it leaps from its place.
² Listen carefully to his voice’s thunder
and the rumbling that goes out from his mouth.
³ He lets it loose under all the heavens,
and his lightning to the earth’s corners.
⁴ After it, his voice roars;
it thunders with his majestic voice,^[a]
and he does not restrain it when his voice is heard.
⁵ “God thunders with his voice in marvelous ways;
he does great things, and we cannot comprehend.
⁶ For to the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth’;
and the shower of rain, his heavy shower of rain^[b]—
⁷ he stops all human beings from working^[c]
so that everyone whom he has made may know it.^[d]
8 Then^[e] the animal goes into its den,
and it remains in its den.
⁹ “The storm wind comes from its chamber
and cold from the north wind.
¹⁰ By God’s breath, ice is given,
and the broad waters are frozen.
¹¹ Also, he loads down thick clouds with moisture;
his lightning scatters the clouds.
¹² And they^[f] turn around by his guidance
to accomplish all that he has commanded them
on the face of the habitable world.^[g]
13 Whether as correction^[h] or for his land,
or as loyal love, he lets it happen.
