21 They must thank the Lord for his constant love,for the wonderful things he did for them.
22 They must thank him with sacrifices,and with songs of joy must tell all that he has done.
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.
