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 You were spun like a top, you reeled like a drunk, you didn't know which end was up.

28 Then you called out to God in your desperate condition; he got you out in the nick of time.

29 He quieted the wind down to a whisper, put a muzzle on all the big waves.

30 And you were so glad when the storm died down, and he led you safely back to harbor.

31 So thank God for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves.
