Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Psalms 107:24
These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
24. These see &c.] These men have seen. Jehovah’s works are the storm, viewed as an evidence of His sovereignty over the elements: His wonders (or wonderful works, as in Psa 107:8 &c.) are His miraculous interposition to still the storm and rescue the sailors.

These see the works of the Lord – They – sailors – have a special opportunity to see the works of God. They see manifestations of his power which are not seen on the land. They see things which seem to come directly from God; which are immediately produced by him – not as the things which occur on the land, which are the result of growth, and which are slowly developed. They seem in the solitariness and grandeur of the ocean to stand more directly in the presence of the great God.
And his wonders in the deep – In the abyss; in that which is distinguished for its depth, as the mountains are for their height. Compare Psa 148:7.

His wonderful works, either,
1. Of creation, fishes of various kinds and shapes, and some of prodigious greatness, which are unknown to other men. Or,
2. Of providence, in raising and laying storms, of which he speaks in the following verses

These see the works of the Lord,…. In creation, the sea itself, its flux and reflux; the creatures in it, fishes of various forms and sizes: and in providence, in preserving ships and men in the most imminent danger, and even to a miracle; sometimes causing the wind to change or to subside in a moment, whereby deliverance is wrought.
And his wonders in the deep; the strange and wonderful creatures that are in the deep waters of the sea, and to be seen nowhere else; and the amazing appearances of divine providence, in delivering when in the greatest distress, and none at hand to help, and all hope of salvation gone.

Psa 107:24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
Ver. 24. These see the works of the Lord, &c. ] In sea monsters, as whales and whirlpools, and sudden change of weather, and the like, not a few; ebbs and flows, pearls, islands, &c. These are just wonders, and may fully convince the most stubborn atheist that is.
