Psalms 107:29 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 107:29

He maketh the storm a calm
As Christ did by a word speaking, ( Mark 4:39 ) .

So that the waves thereof are still;
and roar and toss no more, but subside; and the sea becomes smooth and quiet, its raging ceases: the angry sea, as Horace ^F16 calls it, becomes calm and peaceable; see ( Psalms 89:9 ) .

Psalms 107:29 In-Context

27 They were unsteady like those who get drunk. They didn't know what to do.

28 Then they cried out to the LORD because of their problems. And he brought them out of their troubles.

29 He made the storm as quiet as a whisper. The waves of the ocean calmed down.

30 The people were glad when the ocean became calm. Then he guided them to the harbor they were looking for.

31 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the miracles he does for his people.
