Context of Psalms 107:24

22Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare His works with rejoicing. 23Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters, They see the works of the Lord, And His wonders in the deep. 25For He commands and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up the waves of the sea. 26They mount up to the heavens, They go down again to the depths; Their soul melts because of trouble.
