27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.
27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards; they were at their wits' end.
27 they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits' end.
27 You were spun like a top, you reeled like a drunk, you didn't know which end was up.
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits' end.
27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards and were at their wits' end.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 107:27
Commentary on Psalm 107:23-32
(Read Psalm 107:23-32)
Let those who go to sea, consider and adore the Lord. Mariners have their business upon the tempestuous ocean, and there witness deliverances of which others cannot form an idea. How seasonable it is at such a time to pray! This may remind us of the terrors and distress of conscience many experience, and of those deep scenes of trouble which many pass through, in their Christian course. Yet, in answer to their cries, the Lord turns their storm into a calm, and causes their trials to end in gladness.
