Salmos 107:26

26 que subían a los cielos y bajaban al abismo.Ante el peligro, ellos perdieron el coraje.

Salmos 107:26 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 107:26

They mount up to the heaven
The waves which are lifted up by the stormy wind, and the ships which are upon them, and the men in them.

They go down again to the depths:
one while they seem to reach the skies, and presently they are down, as it were, in the bottom of the sea, and are threatened to be buried in the midst of it; distress at sea is described in much the same language by Virgil and Ovid F13.

Their soul is melted because of trouble;
because of the danger of being cast away; so it was with Jonah's mariner's, and with the disciples in the storm; sea roaring, and men's hearts failing for fear, are joined together in ( Luke 21:25 Luke 21:26 )

Salmos 107:26 In-Context

24 Allí, en las aguas profundas,vieron las obras del SEÑOR y sus maravillas.
25 Habló Dios, y se desató un fuerte vientoque tanto encrespó las olas
26 que subían a los cielos y bajaban al abismo.Ante el peligro, ellos perdieron el coraje.
27 Como ebrios tropezaban, se tambaleaban;de nada les valía toda su pericia.
28 En su angustia clamaron al SEÑOR,y él los sacó de su aflicción.
