Tehillim 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 ) .

27 They reeled and staggered like a shikkor, and were at their wit’s end.

28 Then they cried unto Hashem in their tzoros, and He brought them out of their distresses.

29 He made the sa’arah (storm) a calm, so that the galim (waves) thereof were still [Mk 4:41].

30 Then were they glad because they were quiet; so He brought them unto their makhoz chefetz (desired haven, city, district, boundary).

31 Oh that men would praise Hashem for His chesed, and for His nifla’ot (wonderful works) to the Bnei Adam!
