Context of Psalms 107:24
22They should offer sacrifices to thank God. They should sing aloud to tell about what he has done. 23Some people were traders who travelled far across the sea in ships. They saw the great things that the Lord did, even in the middle of the deep seas. 25He would command a storm to come, so that the wind caused big waves to rise up. 26The waves threw the ships up high in the air, then dropped them deep down. The danger made the sailors afraid, and they thought that they would die.
