26. [Those aboard] mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the deeps; their courage melts away because of their plight.
27. They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man and are at their wits' end [all their wisdom has come to nothing].
28. Then they cry to the Lord in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses.
29. He hushes the storm to a calm and to a gentle whisper, so that the waves of the sea are still. [Ps. 89:9; Matt. 8:26.]
30. Then the men are glad because of the calm, and He brings them to their desired haven.
