Now Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish of Gallim.

You have rule over the sea in storm; when its waves are troubled, you make them calm.

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

He who has knowledge says little: and he who has a calm spirit is a man of good sense.

Give a loud cry, daughter of Gallim; let Laishah give ear; let Anathoth give answer to her.

For I am the Lord your God, who makes the sea calm when its waves are thundering: the Lord of armies is his name.

And they said to him, What are we to do to you so that the sea may become calm for us? For the sea was getting rougher and rougher.

And he said to them, Take me up and put me into the sea, and the sea will become calm for you: for I am certain that because of me this great storm has come on you.
