Psalms 107:29 - Exposition

He maketh the storm a calm ; i . e . he causes the wind to drop, and to be succeeded by a "great calm" (comp. Matthew 8:26 ). Such sudden changes do sometimes occur, not only in inland seas, but on the Mediterranean (see Jonah 1:15 ). So that the waves thereof are still ; literally, the waves of them ; i . e . of the great waters (see Psalms 107:23 ).
