Verses 23-32 - Let those who go to sea, consider and adore the Lord. Mariners have their business upon the tempestuous ocean, and there witnes 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 distres of conscience many experience, and of those deep scenes of troubl 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.
