Fourth Example: Those in Peril at Sea

Psalms 107:23-32

They that goe downe to the sea in ships, and occupie by the great waters,

They see the woorkes of the Lord, and his wonders in the deepe.

For he commaundeth and raiseth the stormie winde, and it lifteth vp the waues thereof.

They mount vp to the heauen, and descend to ye deepe, so that their soule melteth for trouble.

They are tossed to and from, and stagger like a drunken man, and all their cunning is gone.

Then they crie vnto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresse.

He turneth the storme to calme, so that the waues thereof are still.

When they are quieted, they are glad, and hee bringeth them vnto the hauen, where they would be.

Let them therfore confesse before the Lord his louing kindnesse, and his wonderfull woorkes before the sonnes of men.

And let them exalt him in the Congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the Elders.
