Psalms 107:25-26

Psalms 107:25-26. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

For even he who has his " sea legs " on finds them of little use to him when such a storm as this is tossing everything in a dreadful hurly burly. "They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths," and this experience is repeated, perhaps, hundreds of times, day and night, sometimes for weeks together.
