INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“To the Chief Musician.” See Introduction to Psalms 57:0. “A Psalm and song of David.” Or, “A Psalm of David, a song.” See Introduction to Psalms 48:0. In the Psalm itself there are evidences, which Hengstenberg points out, that it is the production of David. The Psalm was probably composed as a psalm of thanksgiving for the blessings of the harvest; in anticipation of an approaching harvest, at Hengstenberg suggests, or on the completion of harvest, as Hitzig... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 65:1-13

Psalms 65:0 This Psalm was evidently composed on the occasion of an abundant harvest, and was doubtless intended to be sung at the feast of harvest, the joyous feast of tabernacles. I. The abundant harvest is regarded as an answer to vows and prayers, and a token of pardoning mercy. (1) The people had appealed to God and addressed to Him their vows and supplications. (2) To vows and prayers they had joined humble and penitent confession of their sins. When the evil passed away from them, they... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 65:9

Psalms 65:9 I. Where is the fountain of the river of God? Every river has a spring or fountain some pool or rocky cavern where it first springs up out of the deep, dark earth. The fountain of the rain is the great ocean. II. Where does this river flow? Other rivers flow along in channels of rock or earth; but the river of the rain flows through the air, confined by no banks. It flows above the mountains, north, south, east, or west, wherever the wind may carry it. III. What does this river do?... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 65:9-10

Psalms 65:9-10 I. Spring follows winter, and ushers in summer, according to an appointed order. This fact teaches the continuous control and government of God.

The spring season is a time of resurrection to life throughout the vegetable kingdom. This suggests the continued life-inspiring power of God. III. The great and various changes which the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Psalms 65:9

Psalms 65:9Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it.The Divine visitationsI. God’s visit to the earth in his providence. It is to this visit that our text immediately refers: “Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it.” It was not to cast fire upon it that the Lord came. It would not have been strange had He done that; but there is enough of fire in the composition of the globe to burn it to a coal, only the Lord waters it from His chambers, and keeps down the flames by casting showers of water... read more
