Then they cried out to the Lord
in their trouble,
and he brought them out
of their distress.
He stilled the storm to a whisper;
the waves of the sea
were hushed.
They were glad
when it grew calm,
and he guided them to their desired haven.
Let them give thanks to the Lord
for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men.
Let them exalt him in the assembly
of the people
and praise him in the council
of the elders.

(Psalm 107:28-32 NIV)
