He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

He maketh the storm a calm - (Matthew 8:26.) Metaphorically, as here, Psalms 89:9.

"The waves," in Psalms 107:25, are said to be the Lord's waves, because He rules them. Here the waves are called the waves of His people, as they toss them up and down. What a comfort to know all the waves of the Lord's people are waves of the Lord: they are absolutely at His control, and cannot engulf His Church.
