Psalms 107

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

23Others went out to sea in ships, conducting trade on the mighty waters.

24They saw the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep.

25For He spoke and raised a tempest that lifted the waves of the sea.

26They mounted up to the heavens, then sunk to the depths; their courage melted in their anguish.

27They reeled and staggered like drunkards, and all their skill was useless.

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

29He calmed the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed.

30They rejoiced in the silence, and He guided them to the harbor they desired.

31Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.

32Let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people and praise Him in the council of the elders.
