Two Great Fears

23 Those who (A) go down to the sea in ships, who do business on great waters; 24 They have seen the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep.

25 For He (B) spoke and raised up a (C) stormy wind, which (D) lifted up the waves of the sea.

26 They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths; their soul (E) melted away in their misery.

27 They reeled and (F) staggered like a drunken man, and [a] were at their wits' end.

28 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distresses.

29 He (G) caused the storm to be still, so that the waves of the sea were hushed.

30 Then they were glad because they were quiet, so He guided them to their desired haven.

31 (H) Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness, and for His (I) wonders to the sons of men!

32 Let them (J) extol Him also (K) in the congregation of the people, and (L) praise Him at the seat of the elders.

-Psalm 107:23-32
