|
|
<p id="Ps65_1"><a onclick="return mV('Psa',65,'1-13');">Psa 65:1-13</a>.
|
|
<p>This is a song of praise for God's spiritual blessings to His people and His kind providence over all the earth.
|
|
<p><b>1. Praise waiteth for thee</b>—literally, "To Thee silence praise," or (compare <a onclick="return mV('Psa',62,1);">Psa 62:1</a>), 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 <a onclick="return mV('Psa',50,14);">Psa 50:14</a>, are rendered in Zion, where God chiefly displays His mercy and receives homage.
|
|
<p id="Ps65_2"><b>2.</b> All are encouraged to pray by God's readiness to hear.
|
|
<p id="Ps65_3"><b>3.</b> God's mercy alone delivers us from the burden of iniquities, by purging or expiating by an atonement the transgressions with which we are charged, and which are denoted by—
|
|
<br><br><b>Iniquities</b>—or, literally, "Words of iniquities."
|
|
<p id="Ps65_4"><b>4. dwell in thy courts;...</b> [and] <b>satisfied with the goodness...temple</b>—denote communion with God (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',15,1);">Psa 15:1</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',23,6);">23:6</a>; compare <a onclick="return mV('Psa',5,7);">Psa 5:7</a>). This is a blessing for all God's people, as denoted by the change of number.
|
|
<p id="Ps65_5"><b>5. terrible things</b>—that is, by the manifestation of justice and wrath to enemies, accompanying that of mercy to His people (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',63,'9-11');">Psa 63:9-11</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',64,'7-9');">64:7-9</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>the confidence</b>—object of it.
|
|
<br><br><b>of all...earth</b>—the whole world; that is, deservedly such, whether men think so or not.
|
|
<p id="Ps65_6"><b>6-13.</b> God's great power and goodness are the grounds of this confidence. These are illustrated in His control of the mightiest agencies of nature and nations affecting men with awe and dread (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',26,7);">Psa 26:7</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',98,1);">98:1</a>, etc.), and in His fertilizing showers, causing the earth to produce abundantly for man and beast.
|
|
<p id="Ps65_8"><b>8. outgoings of...rejoice</b>—<i>all</i> people from east to west.
|
|
<p id="Ps65_9"><b>9. visitest</b>—in mercy (compare <a onclick="return mV('Psa',8,4);">Psa 8:4</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>river of God</b>—His exhaustless resources.
|
|
<p id="Ps65_11"><b>11. thy paths</b>—ways of providence (<a href= "#" onclick="return mV('Psa',25,4,10);">Psa 25:4, 10</a>).
|
|
<p id="Ps65_12"><b>12. wilderness</b>—places, though not inhabited by men, fit for pasture (<a onclick="return mV('Lev',16,21,22);">Lev 16:21-22</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Job',24,5);">Job 24:5</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>pastures</b>—is literally, "folds," or "enclosures for flocks"; and in <a onclick="return mV('Psa',65,13);">Psa 65:13</a> it may be "lambs," the same word used and so translated in <a onclick="return mV('Psa',37,20);">Psa 37:20</a>; so that "the flocks are clothed with lambs" (a figure for abundant increase) would be the form of expression.
