Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds among mortals.
He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There we rejoiced in him, who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations— let the rebellious not exalt themselves.
Bless our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard, who has kept us among the living, and has not let our feet slip.
—PSALM 66:5-9

God of land and sea, you led your people through mighty waters and kept them safe from their enemies. Grant safety to all your creatures from wildfires, floods, earthquakes, and other disasters. Amen.
