Acts 27:1-20

Paul Sails for Rome

1 When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment. 2We boarded an Adramyttian ship about to sail for ports along the coast of Asia, and we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.

3 The next day we landed at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul with consideration, allowing him to visit his friends and receive their care. 4After putting out from there, we sailed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us. 5And when we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia. 6There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.

7 After sailing slowly for many days, we arrived off Cnidus. When the wind impeded us, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone. 8After we had moved along the coast with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.

9 By now much time had passed, and the voyage had already become dangerous because it was after the Fast. So Paul advised them, 10“Men, I can see that our voyage will be filled with disaster and great loss, not only to ship and cargo, but to our own lives as well.”

11 But contrary to Paul’s advice, the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and by the owner of the ship. 12Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided to sail on, hoping that somehow they could reach Phoenix to winter there. Phoenix was a harbor in Crete facing both southwest and northwest.

The Storm at Sea

(Jonah 1:4–10)

13 When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had their opportunity. So they weighed anchor and sailed along, hugging the coast of Crete. 14But it was not long before a cyclone called the Northeaster swept down across the island. 15Unable to head into the wind, the ship was caught up. So we gave way and let ourselves be driven along.

16 Passing to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the lifeboat. 17After hoisting it up, the crew used ropes to undergird the ship. And fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and were driven along.

18 We were tossed so violently that the next day the men began to jettison the cargo. 19On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands. 20When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the great storm continued to batter us, we abandoned all hope of being saved.

Psalm 7:1-17

I Take Refuge in You

1 A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite.

O LORD my God, I take refuge in You;

save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,

2 or they will shred my soul like a lion

and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

3 O LORD my God, if I have done this,

if injustice is on my hands,

4 if I have rewarded my ally with evil,

if I have plundered my foe without cause,

5 then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me;

may he trample me to the ground

and leave my honor in the dust.

Selah

6 Arise, O LORD, in Your anger;

rise up against the fury of my enemies.

Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.

7 Let the assembled peoples gather around You;

take Your seat over them on high.

8 The Lord judges the peoples;

vindicate me, O LORD,

according to my righteousness and integrity.

9 Put an end to the evil of the wicked,

but establish the righteous,

O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.

10 My shield is with God,

who saves the upright in heart.

11 God is a righteous judge

and a God who feels indignation each day.

12 If one does not repent,

God will sharpen His sword;

He has bent and strung His bow.

13 He has prepared His deadly weapons;

He ordains His arrows with fire.

14 Behold, the wicked man travails with evil;

he conceives trouble and births falsehood.

15 He has dug a hole and hollowed it out;

he has fallen into a pit of his own making.

16 His trouble recoils on himself,

and his violence falls on his own head.

17 I will thank the Lord for His righteousness

and sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

Proverbs 18:22

22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing

and obtains favor from the Lord.
