"Labors in Massachusetts A few weeks after this, on our way to Boston, we took the streamer at Portland. A violent storm came up, and we were in great peril. But through the mercy of God we were all landed safe. LS 99"
"Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven."
Both passages describe a dangerous sea voyage and deliverance through divine intervention. While the EGW passage is brief, the theme of being saved from a storm at sea connects it to the Psalm.
