25  For he ^rcommanded and ^sraised the stormy wind,

which lifted up the waves of the sea.

26  They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;

their courage ^tmelted away in their evil plight;

27  they reeled and ^ustaggered like drunken men

and ^vwere at their wits’ end.¹

28  ^wThen they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

29  He ^xmade the storm be still,

and the waves of the sea were hushed.

30  Then they were glad that the waters² were quiet,

and he brought them to their desired haven.
