Context of Psalms 65:8

6Who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with power; 7Who stilleth the raging of the seas, the raging of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples. And they that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens; thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. 9Thou hast visited the earth, thou hast watered it; thou greatly enrichest it: the river of God is full of water; thou providest their corn, when thou hast so prepared it: 10Thou dost satiate its furrows, thou smoothest its clods, thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof.
