Psalm 107:28 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 107:28

Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble
As in a storm seafaring persons are used to do; so did Jonah's mariners, though Heathens, everyone cried to his god. With the Romans ^F15 tempests were reckoned deities, and had temples erected, and sacrifices offered to them; but these persons were such as knew and owned the true Jehovah, and called upon him in their distress: so did the apostles of Christ.

And he bringeth them out of their distresses;
by stilling the winds and the waves, causing them to proceed on their voyage with pleasure, and landing them safe on shore, as follows.

Psalm 107:28 In-Context

26 que subían a los cielos y bajaban al abismo.Ante el peligro, ellos perdieron el coraje.

27 Como ebrios tropezaban, se tambaleaban;de nada les valía toda su pericia.

28 En su angustia clamaron al SEÑOR,y él los sacó de su aflicción.

29 Cambió la tempestad en suave brisa:se sosegaron las olas del mar.

30 Ante esa calma se alegraron,y Dios los llevó al puerto anhelado.
