30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
30 They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven.
30 Then they were glad that the waters
30 And you were so glad when the storm died down, and he led you safely back to harbor.
30 Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven.
30 What a blessing was that stillness as he brought them safely into harbor!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 107:30
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.
