Psalms - 107:23 Meaning
“They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;”
King James Version (KJV)
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.
“Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?”
