Commentary on Psalms 65:7

Theological / Devotional

Stilleth. God’s power in quieting the storm is especially significant to men, who have no control over the sea. The OT writers frequently refer to this manifestation of God’s power (see Job. 38:8–11; Isa. 50:2; 51:10; cf. Matt. 8:23–27; Mark. 4:36–41).

Noise. Heb. sha’on, “din,” or “roar.”

Tumult of the people. The waters and the people are frequently mentioned together (see Isa. 17:12; cf. Isa. 8:7; Rev. 17:15).
