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 Heureux celui que tu choisis, et que tu fais habiter dans tes parvis! Nous serons rassasiés des biens de ta maison, de la sainteté de ton palais.

6 Tu nous répondras par des œuvres redoutables, selon ta justice, ô Dieu de notre salut, l'espoir des extrémités lointaines de la terre et de la mer!

7 Il tient ferme les montagnes par sa force; il est ceint de puissance.

8 Il apaise le bruit des mers, le bruit de leurs flots et la rumeur des peuples.

9 Et ceux qui habitent aux bouts de la terre, craignent à la vue de tes prodiges; tu fais chanter de joie et le Levant et le Couchant.
