Psalms 107:25
23 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.
For He spoke and raised a tempest that lifted the waves of the sea.
26 They mounted up to the heavens, then sunk to the depths; their courage melted in their anguish.
27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards, and all their skill was useless.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
