23. Some sailed over the ocean in ships,earning their living on the seas.
24. They saw what the Lord can do,his wonderful acts on the seas.
25. He commanded, and a mighty wind began to blowand stirred up the waves.
26. The ships were lifted high in the airand plunged down into the depths.In such danger the sailors lost their courage;
27. they stumbled and staggered like drunken men —all their skill was useless.
28. Then in their trouble they called to the Lord,and he saved them from their distress.
29. He calmed the raging storm,and the waves became quiet.
30. They were glad because of the calm,and he brought them safe to the port they wanted.
31. They must thank the Lord for his constant love,for the wonderful things he did for them.
