The Revised Standard Version

1 Again, one preparing to sail and about to voyage over raging waves

calls upon a piece of wood more fragile than the ship which carries him.

2 For it was desire for gain that planned that vessel,

and wisdom was the craftsman who built it;

3 but it is thy providence, O Father, that steers its course,

because thou hast given it a path in the sea,

and a safe way through the waves,

4 showing that thou canst save from every danger,

so that even if a man lacks skill, he may put to sea.
