Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
He maketh . . . calm--or, "to stand to stillness," or "in quiet." Instead of acts of temple-worship, those of the synagogue are here described, where the people with the assembly--or session of elders, convened for reading, singing, prayer, and teaching.
John Gill Bible Commentary
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people,.... Of the people of God, who are gathered out of the world into a church state; and who gather themselves together to attend the worship and service of God in some one place; and here the Lord should be praised, and his name exalted, by those who have received favours from him; see Psa 111:1, the Targum explains it, "in the congregation of the people of the house of Israel.'' And praise him in the assembly of the elders; or, "in the seat", or "chair of the elders (s)": not of the Scribes and Pharisees, and elders of the people, that sat in Moses's chair; but rather of the four and twenty elders, who are said to have four and twenty seats round the throne, where they worship and praise God; and which are emblems of Gospel churches; the members of which, for their grace, gravity, and prudence, are called elders; and over which elders in office preside, and who rule well, and labour in the word and doctrine; see Rev 4:4. The Targum renders it, "the sanhedrim of the wise men.'' (s) "in cathedra", Pagninus, Montanus.
Psalms 107:29
Thanksgiving for Deliverance
28Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distress. 29He calmed the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed. 30They rejoiced in the silence, and He guided them to the harbor they desired.

Cushion of the Sea

Not All Storms Are Bad
By Warren Wiersbe0JOB 37:5PSA 18:7PSA 107:29PSA 147:18ISA 40:31JON 1:4NAM 1:3MAT 8:26JAS 1:17Warren Wiersbe preaches on the powerful imagery in Psalms 18:7-15, illustrating how God works when He comes to the aid of His children. These verses depict God as the Creator and Deliverer who uses nature to assist His people. When in God's will, nature works for the child of God, but when out of His will, everything works against them, as seen in the contrast between David and Jonah's experiences. Wiersbe emphasizes that God can use the storms of life to fulfill His will and bring blessings, encouraging listeners not to fear the storms but to trust in God's sovereignty.

He emphasizes the importance of keeping our focus on Christ during turbulent times, trusting in His power and presence to bring peace and calm to our hearts. Vine reminds his listeners that Jesus is always near, ready to rescue us from distress and peril, and that acknowledging His divine authority can lead us to worship and declare Him as the Son of God.

He emphasizes that God uses trials and conflicts as opportunities for us to grow stronger and develop a grand character, just like trees that grow stronger when faced with storms and hardships.
