26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;
    their courage melted away in their calamity;(B)
27 they reeled and staggered like drunkards
    and were at their wits’ end.(C)
28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he brought them out from their distress;

    and the waves of the sea were hushed.(D)
30 Then they were glad because they had quiet,
    and he brought them to their desired haven.

    for his wonderful works to humankind.(E)

    and praise him in the assembly of the elders.(F)
