Psalms 107:27 - Exposition

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man . The oldest sailor "loses his sea-legs," and staggers about the deck like a landsman, or like one drunk. And are at their wit's end ; literally, as in the margin, and all their wisdom is swallowed . But the English idiom of the Authorized Version is a very happy, one, and exactly expresses the writer's meaning. All the seaman's intelligence is at fault, and can suggest nothing.
