Psalms 107:23

Work

21 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.

22 Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and declare His works with rejoicing.

Others went out to sea in ships, conducting trade on the mighty waters.

24 They saw the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep.

25 For He spoke and raised a tempest that lifted the waves of the sea.
