Contextual Overview

²³ Some sailed the sea in ships. Their work carried them across the water. ²⁴ They saw what the Lord can do. They saw the amazing things he did at sea. ²⁵ He gave the command, and a strong wind began to blow. The waves became higher and higher. ²⁶ The waves lifted them high into the sky and dropped them into the deep sea. The storm was so dangerous that the men lost their courage. ²⁷ They were stumbling and falling like someone who is drunk. Their skill as sailors was useless. ²⁸ They were in trouble, so they called to the Lord for help, and he saved them from their troubles. ²⁹ He stopped the storm and calmed the waves. ³⁰ The sailors were happy that the sea became calm, and he led them safely to where they wanted to go. ³¹ Thank the Lord for his faithful love and for the amazing things he does for people. ³² Praise God in the great assembly. Praise him when the older leaders meet together.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 o 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.

o Cicero, de Nat. Deor. l. 3. c. 20. Virgil. Aeneid. l. 5. v. 772. Horat. Epod. Ode 10. v. 23, 24. Ovid. Fast. 6. v. 193.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble ... - See Psalms 107:6, Psalms 107:13, Psalms 107:19. Sailors pray. If they do not pray elsewhere, they often do in a storm, when in danger of being wrecked and lost. A storm at sea brings hundreds on their knees who never prayed before - for they feel that their only help is in God, and that it is a fearful thing to die. Then they do “right.” They do what “ought” to be done. But they do then only what people ought always to do, for it is as plain a duty to pray when we are in safety as when we are in danger; when sailing on a smooth sea as in a storm; when on the land as on the ocean. People anywhere, and at any time may die; and people everywhere and at all times “should,” therefore, call upon God. Storms, tempests, fire, disease, and danger, only impel people to do what they should do always from higher motives, and when their motives will be likely to be more disinterested and pure.
