Psalms 107:26

107:26 They ¹  reached up to the sky,

then dropped into the depths.

The sailors’ strength ²  left them ³  because the danger was so great. ⁴ 

[107:26]  ¹ tn That is, the waves (see v. 25).

[107:26]  ² tn Heb “their being”; traditionally “their soul” (referring to that of the sailors). This is sometimes translated “courage” (cf. NIV, NRSV).

[107:26]  ³ tn Or “melted.”

[107:26]  ⁴ tn Heb “from danger.”
