Context of Psalms 65:8
6Who establishes the mountains by His strength, Being girded with might; 7Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples. They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy. 9You visit the earth and cause it to overflow; You greatly enrich it; The stream of God is full of water; You prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth. 10You water its furrows abundantly, You settle its ridges, You soften it with showers, You bless its growth.

The idea is, that even they see enough of the evidences of the divine presence and power to fill their minds with awe. In other words, there are in all lands…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.
