Psalms 107:17-27

17 There were foolish people who suffered affliction because of their crimes and sins;
18 they couldn't stand to eat anything; they were near the gates of death.
19 In their trouble they cried to ADONAI, and he rescued them from their distress;
20 he sent his word and healed them, he delivered them from destruction.
21 Let them give thanks to ADONAI for his grace, for his wonders bestowed on humanity!
22 Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and proclaim his great deeds with songs of joy.
23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, plying their trade on the great ocean,
24 saw the works of ADONAI, his wonders in the deep.
25 For at his word the storm-wind arose, lifting up towering waves.
26 The sailors were raised up to the sky, then plunged into the depths. At the danger, their courage failed them,
27 they reeled and staggered like drunk men, and all their skill was swallowed up.
