PSALMS 107:23-43
107:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
107:24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
107:25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the 
waves thereof.
107:26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their 
soul is melted because of trouble.
107:27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their 
wit's end.
107:28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out 
of their distresses.
107:29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
107:30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their 
desired haven.
107:31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his 
wonderful works to the children of men!
107:32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise 
him in the assembly of the elders.
107:33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry 
ground;
107:34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell 
therein.
107:35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into 
watersprings.
107:36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city 
for habitation;
107:37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of 
increase.
107:38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and 
suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
107:39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, 
and sorrow.
107:40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the 
wilderness, where there is no way.
107:41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families 
like a flock.
107:42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her 
mouth.
107:43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand 
the lovingkindness of the LORD.
