Psalm 107:23-25
New English Translation

23 [a] Some traveled on[b] the sea in ships,
and carried cargo over the vast waters.[c]
24 They witnessed the acts of the Lord,
his amazing feats on the deep water.
25 He gave the order for a windstorm,[d]
and it stirred up the waves of the sea.[e]

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 107:23 sn Verses 23-30, which depict the Lord rescuing sailors from a storm at sea, do not seem to describe the exiles’ situation, unless the word picture is metaphorical. Perhaps the psalmist here broadens his scope and offers an example of God’s kindness to the needy beyond the covenant community.
  2. Psalm 107:23 tn Heb “those going down [into].”
  3. Psalm 107:23 tn Heb “doers of work on the mighty waters.”
  4. Psalm 107:25 tn Heb “he spoke and caused to stand a stormy wind.”
  5. Psalm 107:25 tn Heb “and it stirred up its [i.e., the sea’s, see v. 23] waves.”
