Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters,

Some went out on the sea in ships; they were merchants on the mighty waters.

Some people sailed out on the ocean in ships. They traded goods on the mighty waters.

Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters;

Some went off to sea in ships, plying the trade routes of the world.

Others went to sea in ships, conducting trade on the vast water.

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

They that go down to the sea in ships, That do business in great waters;

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

They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

Some traveled on the sea in ships, and carried cargo over the vast waters.

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

For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.’ Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance

As when You break the ships of Tarshish With an east wind.

Your oarsmen brought you into many waters, But the east wind broke you in the midst of the seas.

Sing to the Lord a new song, And His praise from the ends of the earth, You who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, You coastlands and you inhabitants of them!

Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised them,saying,“ Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.”Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul.And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete.But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called Euroclydon.So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her drive.And running under the shelter of an island called Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty.When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven.And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship.On the third day we threw the ship’s tackle overboard with our own hands.Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said,“ Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss.And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve,saying,‘ Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me.However, we must run aground on a certain island.”Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were drawing near some land.And they took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, they took soundings again and found it to be fifteen fathoms.
