Context of Psalms 107:25
23They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business on great waters; 24These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up its waves. 26They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. 27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.

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.
