107:23 在海上坐船,在大水中經理事務的,
107:24 他們看見耶和華的作為,並他在深水中的奇事。
107:25 因他一吩咐,狂風就起來,海中的波浪也揚起。
107:26 他們上到天空,下到海底;他們的心因患難便消化。
107:27 他們搖搖晃晃,東倒西歪,好像醉酒的人;他們的智慧無法可施。
107:28 於是,他們在苦難中哀求耶和華,他從他們的禍患中領出他們來。
107:29 他使狂風止息,波浪就平靜。
107:30 風息浪靜,他們便歡喜;他就引他們到所願去的海口。
107:31 但願人因耶和華的慈愛和他向人所行的奇事都稱讚他。
107:32 願他們在民的會中尊崇他,在長老的位上讚美他!
23 Some went out on the sea in ships;
they were merchants on the mighty waters.
24 They saw the works of the Lord,
his wonderful deeds in the deep.
25 For he spoke and stirred up a tempest
that lifted high the waves.
26 They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths;
in their peril their courage melted away.
27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards;
they were at their wits’ end.
28 Then they cried out to the Lord
in their trouble,
and he brought them out of their distress.
29 He stilled the storm to a whisper;
the waves of the sea[b] were
hushed.
30 They were glad when it grew calm,
and he guided them to their desired haven.
31 Let them give thanks to the Lord
for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for mankind.
32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people
and praise him in the council of the elders.

詩人在此說到人在海上行船遇到狂風巨浪,人在船中隨著波浪上上下下,一下上升到天空,一下又降到浪的底部,這個過程高度差實在是很大,正如詩人所說:「他們上到天空,下到海底;他們的心因患難便消化。」
在這種景況下真的只能聽天由命,正如詩人所說:「他們搖搖晃晃,東倒西歪,好像醉酒的人;他們的智慧無法可施。於是,他們在苦難中哀求耶和華,他從他們的禍患中領出他們來。」
然而他們呼求上帝,上帝真的救了他們!正如詩人所說:「他使狂風止息,波浪就平靜。風息浪靜,他們便歡喜;他就引他們到所願去的海口。」
這讓我們感受到我們的生命若沒有上帝就滅亡了!然而上帝卻常常伸手來拯救我們,因此我們要讚美上帝,大大的敬拜祂!正如詩人所說:「但願人因耶和華的慈愛和他向人所行的奇事都稱讚他。願他們在民的會中尊崇他,在長老的位上讚美他!」
