Tehillim 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.

Tehillim 107:24 In-Context

22 And let them sacrifice the zivkhei todah (sacrifices of thanksgiving), and recount His works with joyful singing.

23 They that go down to the yam in oniyot (ships), that do business on mayim rabbim (great waters);

24 These have seen the ma’asei Hashem, and His nifla’ot (wonders) in the deep.

25 For He commandeth, and raiseth up a ruach sa’arah (stormy wind), which lifteth up the galim (waves) thereof.

26 They [the galim] mount up to Shomayim, they went down again to the tehomot (depths); their nefesh melted in ra’ah (peril, trouble).
