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

in their peril their courage melted away.

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

their courage melted away in their evil plight;

26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: Their soul is melted because of trouble.

26 They mount up to the heavens,

They go down again to the depths;

Their soul melts because of trouble.

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.

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

Their soul melteth away because of trouble.

26 They mount up to the heavens, they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble;

26 The sailors aboard ship rose toward the sky. 

They plunged into the depths. 

Their courage melted in ⸤the face of⸥ disaster. 

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

their courage melting away in anguish,

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

their courage melted away in their calamity;

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

Their soul melted in their calamity.

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.

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

Their soul melted away in their misery.
