The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 65:1-13

Reasons for praising God. "Can hardly doubt that this psalm was composed on the occasion of an abundant harvest, and was intended to be sung as a hymn of thanksgiving by the whole congregation gathered before God in Zion." God is praised under three aspects. I. AS THE GOD OF THE CHURCH . ( Psalms 65:1-5 .) "Whom thou choosest, and causest to approach." 1 . He is the Hearer of all true prayer. ( Psalms 65:2 .) "Unto thee doth all flesh come" in dependence and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 65:2

O thou that hearest prayer. A necessary and inalienable attribute of God. Calvin rightly observes on the passage: "God can no more divest himself of his attribute of hearing prayer than of being." Unto thee shall all flesh come . "All flesh" might certainly, in a psalmist's mouth, mean no more than "all Israel" (so Ewald and Hitzig). But the context (especially in Psalms 65:5 and Psalms 65:8 ) shows that in this psalm the writer is universalist in his ideas, and embraces all... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 65:2

The privilege and duty of prayer. "Thou that hearest prayer" All practical religion rests on this fact—that God hears prayer. A God who could not or would not hear prayer, an almighty Creator with whom we could hold no converse, would not be God to us. We could not say, "O God, thou art my God!" There would be no impiety in the question, "What profit shall we have if we pray unto him?' The Epicureans, who taught that there are gods, but that they do not concern themselves with human... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 65:3

Iniquities prevail against me. Not so much, perhaps, his own iniquities, as these of his nation. Compare the expression, " our transgressions," in the next clause. As for our trangressions, thou shalt purge them away; or, cover them. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 65:3

Defeat and victory. I. Here is A CONFESSION DEFEAT . When we look within we find that, instead of all being right, all is wrong. This alarms us. We rouse ourselves to action. We resolve to live a new life of love and holiness. But the more we try the less we succeed. Our strength is weakness. Our purposes are broken off. Our best endeavours end in defeat. Instead of overcoming evil, we are overcome of evil. Instead of gaining purity and freedom, our case grows worse, and we groan in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 65:4

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest. The "choosing" intended is certainly not that of the seed of Aaron (Le Psalms 8:1 ), or of the seed of Levi ( Numbers 18:21-23 ), but that act by which God "chose" Israel out of all the nations of the earth to be "a special people unto himself" ( Deuteronomy 7:6 ), and gave them a distinct position, and peculiar privileges. And causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts. Among the peculiar privileges, one of the greatest was... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 65:2

O thou that hearest prayer - Who hast revealed thyself as a God hearing prayer - one of the leading characteristics of whose nature it is that thou dost hear prayer. Literally, “Hearer of prayer, to thee shall all flesh come.” Nothing as applied even to God is more sublime and beautiful than the appellative “Hearer of prayer.” Nothing in his attributes is of more interest and importance to man. Nothing more indicates his condescension and goodness; nothing so much encourages us in the endeavor... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 65:3

Iniquities prevail against me - Margin, as in Hebrew, Words, or matters of iniquities. The literal meaning is words; and the idea may be that words spoken in iniquity, or slanderous words spoken by others, prevailed against him. The phrase, however, is susceptible of the interpretation which refers it to iniquity itself; meaning the matter of iniquity - the thing - iniquity itself - as if that overcame him, or got the mastery of him. The psalmist here, in his own name, seems to represent the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 65:4

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest - That is, Happy is the man; or, “Oh, the happiness of the man whom thou dost thus permit to approach thee.” The construction here in the Hebrew is the same as in Psalms 1:1. See the notes at that passage. The word choosest refers to the fact that true piety regards all such blessings as the result of the divine favor; the fruit of his electing grace and love. Compare the notes at Ephesians 1:3-4; notes at 1 Peter 1:2-3. We approach God with confidence,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 65:2-3

Psalms 65:2-3. O thou that hearest prayer That usest and delightest to hear and answer the prayers of thy people in Zion; which he justly mentions as one of the chiefest of God’s favours vouchsafed to his church; unto thee shall all flesh come Men of all sorts and nations, who were allured by this and other singular benefits, to unite themselves to the Jewish Church, according to Solomon’s prediction, 1 Kings 8:41-43. Or, rather, this may be considered as a tacit prediction of the... read more
