Psalm 65:6-13 “By your power, you form the mountains, having armed yourself with strength. You still the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations. They also who dwell in faraway places are afraid at your wonders. You call the morning’s dawn and the evening with songs of joy. You visit the earth, and water it. You greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. You provide them grain, for so you have ordained it. You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop. You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance. The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed with gladness. The pastures are covered with flocks. The valleys also are clothed with grain. They shout for joy! They also sing.”

The title for this Psalm could be, “God’s sovereignty and blessing seen in the harvest.” A shorter title for our purposes should be, “God gives good gifts.” Of course, the greatest gift of all is our salvation!

A tidbit: when an unbeliever glimpses the glory of God, it can be a very frightening thing! “They also who dwell in faraway places are afraid of your wonders.” It can even be a frightening thing for a believer, if the angelic announcements we see in the Bible are any indication!
