25 For at his word the stormy wind ariseth: which lifteth up the
waves thereof.
26 They are carried up to the heaven, and down again to the deep:
their soul melteth away because of the trouble.
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man: and are
at their wit's end.
28 So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble: he delivereth
them out of their distress.
29 For he maketh the storm to cease: so that the waves thereof are
still.
30 Then are they glad, because they are at rest: and so he bringeth
them unto the haven where they would be.
31 O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness:
and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
32 That they would exalt him also in the congregation of the
people: and praise him in the seat of the elders!
33 Who turneth the floods into a wilderness: and drieth up the
water-springs.
34 A fruitful land maketh he barren: for the wickedness of them
that dwell therein.
35 Again, he maketh the wilderness a standing water: and water-springs
of a dry ground
36 And there he setteth the hungry: that they may build them a city
to dwell in;
37 That they may sow their land, and plant vineyards: to yield
them fruits of increase.
38 He blesseth them, so that they multiply exceedingly: and suffereth
not their cattle to decrease.
39 And again, when they are minished and brought low: through
oppression, through any plague or trouble;
40 Though he suffer them to be evil intreated through tyrants: and
let them wander out of the way in the wilderness;
41 Yet helpeth he the poor out of misery: and maketh him households
like a flock of sheep.
42 The righteous will consider this, and rejoice: and the mouth of
all wickedness shall be stopped.
43 Whoso is wise will ponder these things: and they shall understand
the loving-kindness of the Lord.
