Psalms 65:11-12. Thou crownest the year with thy goodness Thou, by thy powerful goodness, dost enrich and adorn all the seasons of the year with their proper fruits and blessings. And thy paths Either, 1st, Thy clouds, (as the word מעגליךְ , is rendered in the Liturgy version,) upon which God is frequently said to walk or ride, and which drop fatness upon the earth; or the outgoings, or ways of the divine goodness.

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). They recall his great acts, both in the events of history and in the natural creation, and see these as a reason for all people, from east to west, to shout for joy (5-8).Coming closer to home, the worshippers see God’s provision in the well-watered... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 65:9-13

Psalms 65:9-13. Thou visitest the earth, &c.— A complete comment upon this sacred hymn, says Dr. Delaney, is not the work either of my province or genius; and therefore I shall only observe, that the last five verses of it are the most rapturous, truly poetic, and natural image of joy, that imagination can form or comprehend. The reader of taste will see this in the simplest translation, Psalms 65:9, &c. Thou hast visited the earth; thou madest it to covet, and hast enriched it. The... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 65:1-13

Psalms 65This communal song of thanksgiving celebrates God blessing His people with a bountiful land (cf. Psalms 66-68). Other communal or community psalms of thanksgiving are 66, 107, 118, 124, and 129. The element that distinguishes a communal psalm of thanksgiving from an individual psalm of thanksgiving is "the use of plural pronouns or some other clear indicator that the congregation of Israel, rather than the individual, has gone through the crisis." [Note: Bullock, p. 163.] David... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 65:11-13

David pictured the earth richly plentiful with God’s blessing on fields and flocks, and he personified it as rejoicing in His goodness.In spite of man’s sin, God blesses his environment with many good things so people can prosper and rejoice (common grace). God delights to bless all people (Matthew 5:45). He is a good, as well as a great, God. [Note: See Allen, And I . . ., pp. 198-213.] read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 65:1-13

The allusions to the Temple worship show that this Ps. belongs to a later age than David’s. As to its occasion we can gather that a national religious festival at Jerusalem was in view (Psalms 65:1-4), that a striking national deliverance had produced a wide-spread impression of God’s power (Psalms 65:5-8), and that a favourable season gave promise of an abundant harvest (Psalms 65:9-13). The presentation of the firstfruits at the Passover (Leviticus 23:10-14) would suit the first and last... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 65:11

(11) Thou crownest.—Better, hast crowned. We generally connect the idea of completion with this metaphor, but the original thought in the Hebrew word, as in the Greek στέφω, is probably to encompass. Comp. the Latin corono in Lucretius, 2:802—“Sylva coronat aquas ingens nemus omne.”All “the circle of the golden year” had been attended by Divine goodness. The meaning seems to be that God had made a year which was naturally prosperous still more abundant.Paths.—The root from which the Hebrew word... read more

Problems of Prayer.
