Psalms 65:11 — Meaning and Application

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, {which} is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. {and...: or, after thou hadst made it to desire rain}

Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. {settlest: or, causest rain to descend into} {makest...: Heb. dissolvest it}

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. {with: Heb. of}

They drop {upon} the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. {rejoice...: Heb. are girded with joy}

The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
