 Some went down to the sea in ships * and plied their trade in deep waters;

They beheld the works of the * and his wonders in the deep.

Then he spoke, and a stormy wind arose, * which tossed high the waves of the sea.

They mounted up to the heavens and fell back to the depths; * their hearts melted because of their peril.

They reeled and staggered like drunkards * and were at their wits’ end.

Then they cried to the in their trouble, * and he delivered them from their distress.

He stilled the storm to a whisper * and quieted the waves of the sea.

Then were they glad because of the calm, * and he brought them to the harbor they were bound for.

Let them give thanks to the for his mercy * and the wonders he does for his children.

Let them exalt him in the congregation of the people * and praise him in the council of the elders.

Psalm 107: Part II

The changed rivers into deserts, * and water&#8209;springs into thirsty ground,

A fruitful land into salt flats, * because of the wickedness of those who dwell there.

He changed deserts into pools of water * and dry land into water&#8209;springs.
