Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 41:25

25. When he raiseth up himself , the Mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purifie themselves .

Shewing himself upon the top of the Waters. Or, [illegible: 1 word] of his Height or Greatness, or Majesty, for he is represented as a King, v. 34.

Even the stout hearted Mariners or Passengers, who use to be above fear.

Either 1. Of the Sea, caused by his motion▪ which dasheth the Waves in pieces one against another. Or rather 2. Of their Mind and State: by reason of their great danger and distress; which is expressed by this very word, Psal. 60. 2. Ionah 2. 4.

Either 1. Naturally; that being the usual effect of great terrour. See Ezek. 7. 17. Or rather 2. Morally, as this word is generally used. Those Mariners who ordinarily live in a gross and general neglect of God, and of Religion, are so affrighted with this imminent danger, that they [illegible: 1+ letters]ry unto God in their trouble, as is said in like case, Psal. 107. 28. and endeavour to purge their Consciences from the guilt of their sins, by confessing and seemingly forsaking of them, and to make their Peace with God, and obrain his favour and help, by their Vows, and Promises, and Prayers.
