Psalm 107:26–29

26 They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths;

in their peril their courage melted away.

27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards;

they were at their wits’ end.

28 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

and he brought them out of their distress.

29 He stilled the storm to a whisper;

the waves of the sea were hushed.

26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;

their courage melted away in their evil plight;

27 they reeled and staggered like drunken men

and were at their wits’ end.

28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

29 He made the storm be still,

and the waves of the sea were hushed.

26 Their ships were tossed to the heavens

and plunged again to the depths;

the sailors cringed in terror.

27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards

and were at their wits’ end.

28 “Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,

and he saved them from their distress.

29 He calmed the storm to a whisper

and stilled the waves.

26 They mount up to the heavens,

They go down again to the depths;

Their soul melts because of trouble.

27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,

And are at their wits’ end.

28 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble,

And He brings them out of their distresses.

29 He calms the storm,

So that its waves are still.

26 The ships were tossed as high as the sky and fell low to the depths.

The storm was so bad that they lost their courage.

27 They stumbled and fell like people who were drunk.

They did not know what to do.

28 In their misery they cried out to the Lord,

and he saved them from their troubles.

29 He stilled the storm

and calmed the waves.

26 They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths:

Their soul melteth away because of trouble.

27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,

And are at their wits’ end.

28 Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble,

And he bringeth them out of their distresses.

29 He maketh the storm a calm,

So that the waves thereof are still.

26 They mount up to the heavens, they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble; 27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and they are at their wits’ end: 28 Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses; 29 He maketh the storm a calm, and the waves thereof are still:

26 The sailors aboard ship rose toward the sky. 

They plunged into the depths. 

Their courage melted in ⸤the face of⸥ disaster. 

27 They reeled and staggered like drunks, 

and all their skills as sailors became useless. 

28 In their distress they cried out to the Lord. 

He led them from their troubles. 

29 He made the storm calm down, 

and the waves became still. 

26 Rising up to the sky, sinking down to the depths,

their courage melting away in anguish,

27 they reeled and staggered like drunken men,

and all their skill was useless.

28 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

and He brought them out of their distress.

29 He stilled the storm to a murmur,

and the waves of the sea were hushed.

26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;

their courage melted away in their calamity;

27 they reeled and staggered like drunkards

and were at their wits’ end.

28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he brought them out from their distress;

29 he made the storm be still,

and the waves of the sea were hushed.

26 They rose to the heavens; they plunged to the depths.

Their soul melted in their calamity.

27 They reeled and staggered like a drunkard,

and they were at their wits’ end.

28 Then they cried out to Yahweh in their trouble,

and he brought them out of their distresses.

29 He made the storm be still

and their waves became calm.

26 They rose up to the heavens. Then they went down deep into the ocean.

In that kind of danger the people’s boldness melted away.

27 They were unsteady like those who get drunk.

They didn’t know what to do.

28 Then they cried out to the Lord because of their problems.

And he brought them out of their troubles.

29 He made the storm as quiet as a whisper.

The waves of the ocean calmed down.

26 They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths;

Their soul melted away in their misery.

27 They reeled and staggered like a drunken man,

And were at their wits’ end.

28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

And He brought them out of their distresses.

29 He caused the storm to be still,

So that the waves of the sea were hushed.
