They that go down to the fea in Thips: and occupy their bufinefs in great waters;

These men fee the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep.

For at his word the ftormy wind arifeth: which lifteth up the waves thereof.

They are carried up to the heaven, and down again to the deep their foul melteth away because of the trouble.

They reel to and fro, and ftagger like a drunken man: and are at their wits end.

So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble: he delivereth them out of their diftrefs.

For he maketh the ftorm to cease: fo that the waves thereof are ftill.

Then are they glad, because they are at reft and fo he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be.

O that men would therefore praife the Lord for his goodnefs and declare the wonders that he doth for the children of men !

That they would exalt him alfo in the congregation of the people and praise him in the feat of the elders!

Who turneth the floods into a wilderness: and drieth up the water-fprings.

That they may fow their land, and plant vineyards to yield them fruits of increase.

He bleffeth them, fo that they multiply exceedingly: and fuffereth not their cattle to decrease.

And again, when they are minifhed and brought low: through oppreffion, through any plague or trouble;

Though he fuffer them to be evil-intreated through tyrants: and let them wander out of the way in the wilderness;

Yet helpeth he the poor out of mifery and maketh him houfholds like a flock of sheep.
