Barnes' Notes
For 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. The wind seems to take them up, and lift them on high.
