Psalms 107:24

“These see the works of the Lord, etc.] In creation, the sea itself, its flux and reflux; the creatures in it, fishes of various forms and sizes: and in providence, in preserving ships and men in the most imminent danger, and even to a miracle; sometimes causing the wind to change or to subside in a moment, whereby deliverance is wrought. And his wonders in the deep; the strange and wonderful creatures that are in the deep waters of the sea, and to be seen nowhere else; and the amazing appearances of divine providence, in delivering when in the greatest distress, and none at hand to help, and all hope of salvation gone.”

“These see the works of the Lord - They - sailors - have a special opportunity to see the works of God. They see manifestations of his power which are not seen on the land. They see things which seem to come “directly” from God; which are “immediately” produced by him - not as the things which occur on the land, which are the result of “growth,” and which are slowly developed. They seem in the solitariness and grandeur of the ocean to stand more directly in the presence of the great God. And his wonders in the deep - In the abyss; in that which is distinguished for its “depth,” as the mountains are for their height. Compare Psalms 148:7. return to 'Top of Page'”
