2. Let all those whom the Lord has redeemed proclaim that he redeemed them from the hand of the foe.
3. He gathered them out of the lands; from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
23. Some went down to the sea in ships and plied their trade in deep waters.
24. They beheld the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, and his mercy endures for ever.
25. Then he spoke, and a stormy wind arose, which tossed high the waves of the sea.
26. They mounted up to the heavens and fell back to the depths; their hearts melted because of their peril.
27. They reeled and staggered like drunkards and were at their wits' end.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, and his mercy endures for ever.
28. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
29. He stilled the storm to a whisper and quieted the waves of the sea.
30. Then were they glad because of the calm, and he brought them to the harbor they were bound for.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, and his mercy endures for ever.
31. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his mercy and the wonders he does for his children.
32. Let them exalt him in the congregation of the people and praise him in the council of the elders.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, and his mercy endures for ever.
