prisoners in cruel chains —

because they rebelled against God’s commands

and despised the counsel of the Most High.

his wondrous works in the deep.

He spoke and raised a stormy wind

that stirred up the waves of the sea.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:26 -

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

their courage[fn] melting away in anguish,

they reeled and staggered like a drunkard,

and all their skill was useless.

and praise him in the council of the elders.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:33 -

He turns rivers into desert,

springs into thirsty ground,

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:34 -

and fruitful land into salty wasteland,

because of the wickedness of its inhabitants.

He turns a desert into a pool,

dry land into springs.

that yield a fruitful harvest.

When they are diminished and are humbled

by cruel oppression and sorrow,

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:40 -

he pours contempt on nobles

and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:41 -

and all injustice shuts its mouth.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:43 -

Let whoever is wise pay attention to these things

and consider the LORD’s acts of faithful love.
