Psalms 107:28-30

107:28 They cried out to the Lord in their distress;

he delivered them from their troubles.

107:29 He calmed the storm, ¹ 

and the waves ²  grew silent.

107:30 The sailors ³  rejoiced because the waves ⁴  grew quiet,

and he led them to the harbor ⁵  they desired.

[107:29]  ¹ tn Heb “he raised [the] storm to calm.”

[107:29]  ² tn Heb “their waves.” The antecedent of the third masculine plural pronominal suffix is not readily apparent, unless it refers back to “waters” in v. 23.

[107:30]  ³ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the sailors) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[107:30]  ⁴ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the waves) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[107:30]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew noun occurs only here in the OT.
