26. They mount up to the heavens, they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble;
27. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and they are at their wits' end:
28. Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses;
29. He maketh the storm a calm, and the waves thereof are still:
30. And they rejoice because they are quiet; and he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31. Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;
32. Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the session of the elders.
33. He maketh rivers into a wilderness, and water-springs into dry ground;
34. A fruitful land into a plain of salt, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35. He maketh the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into water-springs;
36. And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation;
37. And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase;
38. And he blesseth them, so that they are multiplied greatly; and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
