28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble , And He brought them out of their distresses . 29 He caused the storm to be still , So that the waves of the sea were hushed . 30 Then they were glad because they were quiet , So He guided them to their desired haven .

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 107:28-30

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.
