Contextual Overview

23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business in great waters; 24 These see Yahweh's works, And his wonders in the deep. 25 For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up its waves. 26 They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble. 27 They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits' end. 28 Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, He brings them out of their distress. 29 He makes the storm a calm, So that its waves are still. 30 Then are they glad because it is calm, So he brings them to their desired haven. 31 Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men! 32 Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the elders.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind,.... Winds are not raised by men, nor by devils, nor by angels, but by the Lord himself; who has created them, holds them in his fist, brings them out of his treasures, and sends them forth to do his will; if he speaks the word, gives but the order, a storm arises at once, and executes what he pleases, Psalms 148:8.

Which lifteth up the waves thereof; that is, the waves of the sea; it comes down into it, and causes surges; which rise above the ship, and sometimes cover it, and ready to sink it; yea, even they are lifted up to the heavens, as it follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For he commandeth - Hebrew, “he says;” that is, He speaks the word, and it is done. The mere expression of his will raises up the storm, and throws the sea into commotion.

And raiseth the stormy wind - Margin, as in Hebrew, “Maketh to stand.” The “stormy wind” is literally, the wind of the tempest.

Which lifteth up the waves thereof - The waves of the ocean. The wind seems to take them up, and lift them on high.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 107:25. For he commandeth — And what less than the command of God can raise up such winds as seem to heave old Ocean from his bed?
