Context of Psalms 107:29
27Like drunk people, they could not stand or walk properly. They did not know what to do! 28Because of their trouble, they called to the Lord for help. He rescued them from their troubles. He caused the storm to stop, so that the waves became quiet. 30The sailors were happy when it became quiet. God led them safely to the port, where they wanted to go. 31So they should thank the Lord because of his faithful love. They should thank him for the great things that he does for people.
