The Hebrew root for "glad" is "&#1513;&#1464;&#1474;&#1502;&#1463;&#1495;" (samach), which conveys a deep, heartfelt joy. In the context of ancient Israel, joy was often associated with deliverance and salvation, reflecting a profound gratitude towards God. Historically, the Israelites experienced numerous instances of divine intervention, and this joy is a testament to their faith in God's providence.<p><b>when it grew calm</b><br />The calming of the storm is a powerful metaphor for God's control over chaos. The Hebrew word "&#1513;&#1464;&#1473;&#1511;&#1463;&#1496;" (shaqat) means to be quiet or at peace. In the ancient Near Eastern context, the sea often symbolized chaos and danger. God's ability to calm the sea demonstrates His sovereignty over creation, echoing the creation narrative where God brings order out of chaos.<p><b>and He guided them</b><br />The guidance of God is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, emphasizing His role as a shepherd to His people. The Hebrew root "&#1504;&#1464;&#1495;&#1464;&#1492;" (nachah) means to lead or guide. This guidance is not just physical but also spiritual, as God leads His people towards righteousness and fulfillment of His promises. Historically, this reflects the Israelites' journey through the wilderness, where God's guidance was both literal and symbolic.<p><b>to their desired haven</b><br />The "desired haven" represents a place of safety and rest. The Hebrew word "&#1502;&#1456;&#1495;&#1493;&#1465;&#1494;" (machoz) refers to a harbor or refuge. In the biblical narrative, reaching a haven symbolizes the fulfillment of God's promises and the end of a perilous journey. This imagery would resonate deeply with ancient seafarers and travelers who understood the relief of reaching a safe harbor after a tumultuous voyage. Spiritually, it signifies the ultimate rest and peace found in God's presence.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/107.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 30.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Then are they glad because they be quiet</span>;
