Context of Psalms 107:25
23Some people were traders who travelled far across the sea in ships. 24They saw the great things that the Lord did, even in the middle of the deep seas. He would command a storm to come, so that the wind caused big waves to rise up. 26The waves threw the ships up high in the air, then dropped them deep down. The danger made the sailors afraid, and they thought that they would die. 27Like drunk people, they could not stand or walk properly. They did not know what to do!

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 25For he commandeth - Hebrew, “he says;” that is, He speaks the word, and it is done. The mere expression of his will raises up the storm, and throws the sea into commotion. And raiseth the stormy wind - Margin, as in Hebrew, “Maketh to stand.” The “stormy wind” is literally, the wind of the tempest. Which lifteth up the waves thereof - The waves of the ocean.
