Psalm 65:11 NIV

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 65:1-13

Psalms 65:1-13THIS and the two following psalms form a little group, with one great thought dominant in each, namely, that God’s manifestations of grace and providence to Israel are witnesses to the world. They all reach out to "the ends of the earth" in yearning and confidence that God’s name will be adored there, and they all regard His dealings with His people as His appeals to mankind, which will not always be vain. Psalms 65:1-13 begins with that privilege of approach to God with which... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 65:1-13

Psalms 65:0 The Times of Restitution and Refreshing 1. Spiritual blessings (Psalms 65:1-5 ) 2. Earthly glories and blessing (Psalms 65:6-13 ) The four next Psalms unfold prophetically the times of restitution of all things as spoken by the mouth of His holy prophets since the world began. Here we get the visions of Israel’s restoration, her spiritual blessings and her praise unto the Lord, and what will be the result for the nations and for all creation. We recommend a careful study in... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 65:9-13

I have not broken the thread of the subject in these verses, because the whole, taken together, forms a most beautiful description of the divine bounty in those several productions of nature. The blessings of the Lord in fruitful gifts and seasons to the earth, and to the inhabitants of it, are delightfully set forth. And as Moses taught Israel to expect the perpetual return of those things, so the continued enjoyment of them should call forth blessings and praises to the almighty Giver. Exodus... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 65:11

Back. Hebrew, "loins." The Captives had experienced the greatest miseries, as the martyrs of Christ have done since. (Calmet) --- The Church is put to the most severe trials. (Worthington) --- Yet God brings no one into the net of sin. This is solely the effect of man's corruption. (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 65:6-13

6-13 That Almighty strength which sets fast the mountains, upholds the believer. That word which stills the stormy ocean, and speaks it into a calm, can silence our enemies. How contrary soever light and darkness are to each other, it is hard to say which is most welcome. Does the watchman wait for the morning? so does the labourer earnestly desire the shades of evening. Some understand it of the morning and evening sacrifices. We are to look upon daily worship, both alone and with our... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 65:1-13

Thanksgiving for the Blessings of the Lord. To the chief musician, for performance in public worship, a psalm and song of David, composed for the purpose of praising God for His spiritual blessings upon His people and His kind providence over all the earth. v. 1. Praise waiteth for Thee, O God, in Sion, literally, "To Thee is silent resignation as praise," that is, the calm submission of the believer's heart is its tribute to the Lord, by which He is praised and exalted; and unto Thee shall... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 65:1-13

Abundant Favor from Our Gracious God Psalms 65:1-13 This joyous hymn was probably composed for use in the sanctuary at one of the great annual festivals. It deals expressly with God’s bounty in the fertility of the earth. The Temple courts, Psalms 65:1-4 God hears our prayer, purges away our transgressions, chooses us, and causes us to approach. Let us ask Him to cause us to approach and to make us dwell in the consciousness of His presence. If iniquities prevail and transgressions shame... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 65:1-13

This is a great song of worship. The occasion would seem to be that of a harvest festival. The people are assembled for praise (verses Psa 65:1-4 ). God's particular goodness in the harvest is celebrated (verses Psa 65:5-8 ). With reference to the assembling of the people the marginal reading is full of beauty: There shall be silence before Thee and praise. The same thought is present, though obscure, in the text: Praise waiteth for Thee. It is the true attitude of worship. Reverent silence... read more

Robert Neighbour

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Psalms 65:1-13

Israel's Coming Day Psalms 65:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Book of the Psalms must remain for a great part a closed Book unless we remember that David was a Prophet, and that being a Prophet he wrote much of the things to come. It is well also for us to consider that a Prophet did not write dreams of his own brain. He wrote as he was moved by the Holy Ghost. David did not know the future any more than any of us know it. David could not, of himself, possibly foretell what was going to happen to... read more
