For he maketh the storm to cease: so that the waves thereof are still.
Then are they glad, because they are at rest: and so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be.
O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
That they would exalt him also in the congregation of the people: and praise him in the seat of the elders!
Who turneth the floods into a wilderness: and drieth up the water-springs.
A fruitful land maketh he barren: for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
Again, he maketh the wilderness a standing water: and water-springs of a dry ground.
And there he setteth the hungry: that they may build them a city to dwell in;
That they may sow their land, and plant vineyards: to yield them fruits of increase.
He blesseth them, so that they multiply exceedingly: and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
