Salmos 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.

Salmos 107:28 In-Context

26 Suben á los cielos, descienden á los abismos: Sus almas se derriten con el mal.

27 Tiemblan, y titubean como borrachos, Y toda su ciencia es perdida.

28 Claman empero á Jehová en su angustia, Y líbralos de sus aflicciones.

29 Hace parar la tempestad en sosiego, Y se apaciguan sus ondas.

30 Alégranse luego porque se reposaron; Y él los guía al puerto que deseaban.
