Psaume 65:7 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 65:7

Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their
waves
By a word speaking; as our Lord did when here on earth, and which was a proof and evidence of his eternal power and Godhead. These figurative expressions are interpreted by the next clause;

and the tumult of the people:
of wicked men, who foam and rage against the people of God, and are like a troubled sea that cannot rest; but God can say to these proud waters, which threaten to go over their souls, Peace, be still; he can stop their opposition, quell their insurrections, restrain their wrath, and make them peaceable and quiet; wherefore the saints have no reason to be afraid of them, ( Psalms 46:2 Psalms 46:3 ) ( 76:10 ) ( 124:1-5 ) .

Psaume 65:7 In-Context

5 Dans ta bonté, tu nous exauces par des prodiges, Dieu de notre salut, Espoir de toutes les extrémités lointaines de la terre et de la mer!

6 Il affermit les montagnes par sa force, Il est ceint de puissance;

7 Il apaise le mugissement des mers, le mugissement de leurs flots, Et le tumulte des peuples.

8 Ceux qui habitent aux extrémités du monde s'effraient de tes prodiges; Tu remplis d'allégresse l'orient et l'occident.

9 Tu visites la terre et tu lui donnes l'abondance, Tu la combles de richesses; Le ruisseau de Dieu est plein d'eau; Tu prépares le blé, quand tu la fertilises ainsi.
