Psalms 107:29 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Psalms 107:29

27 They reel to and¹ 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 ^aHe calms the storm,
So that its waves are still.

30 Then they are glad because they are quiet;
So He guides them to their desired haven.

31 ^aOh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

32 Let them exalt Him also ^ain the assembly of the people,
And praise Him in the company of the elders.
