Context of Psalms 65:11
9You visit the earth and water it, You greatly enrich it; The river of God is full of water; You provide their grain, For so You have prepared it. 10You water its ridges abundantly, You settle its furrows; You make it soft with showers, You bless its growth. You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. 12They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side. 13The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also 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.

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
