Salmos 107:26

26 Subiam aos céus e desciam aos abismos;diante de tal perigo, perderam a coragem.

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 e viram as obras do SENHOR,as suas maravilhas nas profundezas.
25 Deus falou e provocou um vendavalque levantava as ondas.
26 Subiam aos céus e desciam aos abismos;diante de tal perigo, perderam a coragem.
27 Cambaleavam, tontos como bêbados,e toda a sua habilidade foi inútil.
28 Na sua aflição, clamaram ao SENHOR,e ele os tirou da tribulaçãoem que se encontravam.
