He Who Calms the Sea

"Those who go down to the sea in ships,

Who do business on great waters,

They see the works of the LORD,

And His wonders in the deep.

For He commands and raises the stormy wind,

Which lifts up the waves of the sea,

They out up to the heavens,

They go down again to the depths;

Their soul melts because of trouble.

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,

And are at their wits' end.

Then they cry out to the LORD in their trouble,

And He brings them out of their distress.

He calms the storm,

So that its waves are still.

Then they are glad because they are quiet;

So He guides them to their desired haven.

Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,

And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, 

And praise Him in the company of the elders."

Psalm 107:23-32

On the same day, when evening had come, Jesus said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side."

Now when they had left the multitude, they took him along in the boat as he was.  And other little boats were also with him.  And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling.  But he was in the stern, asleep on a pillow.  And they awoke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?"

Then he arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!"  And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.  But he said to them, "Why are you so fearful?  How is it that you have no faith?"

And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, "Wo can this be, that even the and and the sea obey him?"

Mark 4:35-41
