Psalm 107:27 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 107:27

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man
Through the agitation of the water, and motion of the ship, not being able to stand upon deck.

And are at their wit's end;
or, "all their wisdom is swallowed up" F14; their wisdom in naval affairs, their art of navigation, their skill in managing ships, all nonplussed and baffled; they know not what method to take to save the vessel and themselves; their knowledge fails them, they are quite confounded and almost distracted. So Apollinarius paraphrases it,

``they forget navigation, and their wise art does not appear;''

so Ovid, describing a storm, uses the same phrase, "deficit ars",

``art fails.''

Psalm 107:27 In-Context

25 Pues El habl贸, y levant贸 un viento tempestuoso que encresp贸 las olas del mar.
26 Subieron a los cielos, descendieron a las profundidades, sus almas se consum铆an por el mal.
27 Temblaban y se tambaleaban como ebrios, y toda su pericia desapareci贸 .
28 Entonces en su angustia clamaron al SE脩OR y El los sac贸 de sus aflicciones.
29 Cambi贸 la tempestad en calma y las olas del mar callaron.
