Context of Psalms 65:8

6You establish the mountains by your power; you are robed with strength. 7You silence the roar of the seas, the roar of their waves, and the tumult of the nations. Those who live far away are awed by your signs; you make east and west shout for joy. 9You visit the earth and water it abundantly, enriching it greatly. God’s stream is filled with water, for you prepare the earth in this way, providing people with grain. 10You soften it with showers and bless its growth, soaking its furrows and leveling its ridges.
