They who sailed the sea ships, trading on the deep waters, these saw the works of the LORD and his wonders in the abyss.
His command raised up a storm wind which tossed its waves on high.
They mounted up to heaven; they sank to the depths; their hearts melted away in their plight.
They cried to the LORD in their distress;
from their straits he rescue them, he hushed the storm to a gentle breeze, and the billows of the sea were stilled.
They rejoiced that they were calmed, and he brought them to their desired haven.
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his kindness and his wondrous deeds to the children of men.
I will extol you, O LORD, for you drew mw clear and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
O LORD,you brought me up from the netherworld;
you preserved me from among those going down into the pit.
Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones, and give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger lasts but a moment;
a lifetime, his good will.
At nightfall, weeping enters in, but with the dawn, rejoicing.
Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me;
O LORD, be my helper.
You changed my mourning into dancing;
O LORD, my GOD, forever will I give you thanks.
