25 For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves.
25 For he commandeth, and raiseth
25 For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea.
25 With a word he called up the wind - an ocean storm, towering waves!
25 For He commands and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up the waves of the sea.
25 He spoke, and the winds rose, stirring up the waves.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 107:25
Commentary on Psalm 107:23-32
(Read Psalm 107:23-32)
Let those who go to sea, consider and adore the Lord. Mariners have their business upon the tempestuous ocean, and there witness deliverances of which others cannot form an idea. How seasonable it is at such a time to pray! This may remind us of the terrors and distress of conscience many experience, and of those deep scenes of trouble which many pass through, in their Christian course. Yet, in answer to their cries, the Lord turns their storm into a calm, and causes their trials to end in gladness.
