Psalms 107:29

27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards, and all their skill was useless.

28 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distress.

He calmed the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed.

30 They rejoiced in the silence, and He guided them to the harbor they desired.

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

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
