AE 419f - portions of Psalm 107

AE 419f [23]
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do work in many waters.
And He spoke, and made the wind of the tempest to stand,
and He raised up its waves on high.
He made the tempest to stand still,
and that their waves might be hushed.
(Psalm 107:23, 25, 29)

This treats of temptations and of the deliverance from them.
"The wind of the tempest," and thus
"the waves of the sea lifted up," signify temptations;
and as spiritual temptations come through falsities breaking into the thoughts,
which is the source of remorse of conscience and grief of mind and spirit,
these are signified by "the wind of the tempest stood,
and He raised up its waves on high;"
deliverance from them is signified by
"He made the tempest to stand still, that the waves might be hushed."
