these [men] have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
He speaks, and the stormy wind arises, and its waves are lifted up.
They go up to the heavens, and go down to the depths; their soul melts because of troubles.

And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, and they yield fruit of increase.
