Commentary
He maketh the storm a calm,.... As Christ did by a word speaking,
Mar 4:39
.
So that the waves thereof are still; and roar and toss no more, but subside; and the sea becomes smooth and quiet, its raging ceases: the angry sea, as Horace (p) calls it, becomes calm and peaceable; see
Psa 89:9
.
