Context of Psalms 65:11
9You visit the earth and make it overflow [with water]; You greatly enrich it; The stream of God is full of water; You provide their grain, when You have prepared the earth. 10You water its furrows abundantly, You smooth its ridges; You soften it with showers, You bless its growth. You crown the year with Your bounty, And Your paths overflow. 12The pastures of the wilderness drip [with dew], And the hills are encircled with joy. 13The meadows are clothed with flocks And the valleys are covered with grain; They shout for joy and they sing.

Commentaries on Psalms 65:11
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11Thou crownest the year - A full and plentiful harvest is the crown of the year; and this springs from the unmerited goodness of God. This is the diadem of the earth; עטרת ittarta, Thou encirclest, as with a diadem. A most elegant expression, to show the progress of the sun through the twelve signs of the zodiac, producing the seasons, and giving a sufficiency of light and heat alternately to all places on the surface of the globe, by its north and south…Read the comment

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-13Verses 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…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 6-136-13. 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 (Psa 26:7; 98:1, &c.), and in His fertilizing showers, causing the earth to produce abundantly for man and beast.Read the comment
