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

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 65:1-13

Psalms 65:0 Praise for harvest, fields and flocksAs they approach God, the worshippers are aware of their failures through sin. They realize that forgiveness is necessary before they can enjoy fulness of fellowship with God in his house (1-4).

PSALM 65THE EARTH AS EVIDENCE OF GOD'S LOVE FOR MANMAN DOES NOT LIVE ALONESUPERSCRIPTION: FOR THE CHIEF MUSICIAN.A PSALM. A SONG OF DAVID.The title which we have assigned to this psalm is inspired by a little book entitled, "Man Does not Live Alone," by A. Cresy Morrison (Fleming H.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Psalms 65:1

1. Praise waiteth for thee—literally, "To Thee silence praise," or (compare Psalms 62:1), To Thee silence is praise—that is, Praise is waiting as a servant; it is due to Thee. So the last clause expresses the duty of paying vows. These two parts of acceptable worship, mentioned in Psalms 62:1- :, are rendered in Zion, where God chiefly displays His mercy and receives homage. read more
