| Geneva Study Bible He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 29-32. He maketh . calm-or, "to stand to stillness," or "in quiet." Instead of acts of temple-worship, those of the synagogue are here described, where the people with the assembly-or session of elders, convened for reading, singing, prayer, and teaching. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 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. |
