Psalms 107:24 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 107:24

These see the works of the Lord
In creation, the sea itself, its flux and reflux; the creatures in it, fishes of various forms and sizes: and in providence, in preserving ships and men in the most imminent danger, and even to a miracle; sometimes causing the wind to change or to subside in a moment, whereby deliverance is wrought.

And his wonders in the deep;
the strange and wonderful creatures that are in the deep waters of the sea, and to be seen nowhere else; and the amazing appearances of divine providence, in delivering when in the greatest distress, and none at hand to help, and all hope of salvation gone.

Psalms 107:24 In-Context

22 Let them offer sacrifices to thank him. With joy they should tell what he has done.
23 Others went out to sea in ships and did business on the great oceans.
24 They saw what the Lord could do, the miracles he did in the deep oceans.
25 He spoke, and a storm came up, which blew up high waves.
26 The ships were tossed as high as the sky and fell low to the depths. The storm was so bad that they lost their courage.
