To the sea in ships
Language: English
They that go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters; These see the works of the Lord, And His wonders in the deep. For He commanded and raised the stormy wind, Which lifted up the waves thereof.. They mount up to the heaven, they go down to the depths; Their soul melted away in their misery. He maked the storm a calm, So that the waves thereof are still.
