    26They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

    27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.

    28Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

    29He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

    30Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

    31Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
