They that go down to the sea in ships: and occupy their business in great waters;
These men see the works of the Lord: and his wonders in the deep
For at his word the stormy wind ariseth: which lifteth up the waves thereof
They are carried up to the heaven, and down again to the deep: their soul melteth away because of the trouble
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man: and are at their wits' end
So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble: he delivereth them out of their distress
For he maketh the storm to cease: so that the waves thereof are still
Then are they glad, because they are at rest: and so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be
O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
That they would exalt him also in the congregation of the people:
And praise him in the seat of the elders!
O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
These men see the works of the Lord: and his wonders in the deep
For at his word the stormy wind ariseth: which lifteth up the waves thereof
They are carried up to the heaven, and down again to the deep: their soul melteth away because of the trouble
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man: and are at their wits' end
So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble: he delivereth them out of their distress
For he maketh the storm to cease: so that the waves thereof are still
Then are they glad, because they are at rest: and so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be
O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
That they would exalt him also in the congregation of the people:
And praise him in the seat of the elders!
O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
