Psalm 65:7

7 who troublest the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.

Psalm 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 ) .

Psalm 65:7 In-Context

5 Thou art wonderful in righteousness. Hearken to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are on the sea afar off:

6 who dost establish the mountains in thy strength, being girded about with power;

7 who troublest the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.

8 The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends of the earth shall be afraid of thy signs; thou wilt cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.

9 Thou hast visited the earth, and saturated it; thou hast abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; thou hast prepared their food, for thus is the preparation of it.
