²³ But while they were sailing he went to sleep: and a storm of wind came down on the sea, and the boat became full of water and they were in danger.

²³ Why are you sleeping, O Lord? awake! and come to our help, do not give us up for ever.

¹⁴ But after a little time, a very violent wind, named Euraquilo, came down from it with great force.

¹⁵ And when the ship got into the grip of it, and was not able to make headway into the wind, we gave way, and went before it.

¹⁶ And, sailing near the side of a small island named Cauda, we were able, though it was hard work, to make the ship's boat safe:

¹⁷ And having got it up, they put cords under and round the ship; but fearing that they might be pushed on to the Syrtis, they let down the sails and so went running before the wind.

¹⁸ And, still fighting the storm with all our strength, the day after they made a start at getting the goods out of the ship;

¹⁹ And on the third day, they let all the sailing apparatus go over the side.

²⁰ And as we had not seen the sun or stars for a long time, and a great storm was on us, all hope of salvation was gone.

²² Now it came about on one of those days that he got into a boat with his disciples; and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the water: and they put out the boat.

¹¹ O troubled one, storm-crushed, uncomforted! see, your stones will be framed in fair colours, and your bases will be sapphires.

⁹ Awake! awake! put on strength, O arm of the Lord, awake! as in the old days, in the generations long past. Was it not by you that Rahab was cut in two, and the dragon Wounded?

¹⁰ Did you not make the sea dry, the waters of the great deep? did you not make the deep waters of the sea a way for the Lord's people to go through?

⁸ Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:

² If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;

³ They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:

⁴ We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;

²³ Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in the great waters;

²⁴ They see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.

²⁵ For at his word comes up the storm-wind, lifting high the waves.

²⁶ The sailors go up to heaven, and down into the deep; their souls are wasted because of their trouble.

²⁷ They are turned here and there, rolling like a man who is full of wine; and all their wisdom comes to nothing.

²⁸ Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.

²⁹ He makes the storm into a calm, so that the waves are at peace.

³⁰ Then they are glad, because the sea is quiet, and he takes them to the harbour of their desire.

³ The rivers send up, O Lord, the rivers send up their voices; they send them up with a loud cry.

⁴ The Lord in heaven is stronger than the noise of great waters, yes, he is stronger than the great waves of the sea.

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.
