Psalms 65 · Grade 5

Crowned with Bounty

Name Date

Read and Think

The title of Psalm 65 calls it a Psalm by David, a song. The psalm moves outward in three circles. It begins in God's house. Praise waits for you, God, in Zion. God is the one who hears prayer, and he deals with the deepest human problem: Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our transgressions. Blessed is the one whom you choose and cause to come near.

The second circle is the whole earth. God is the hope of all the ends of the earth, even of those far away on the sea. He forms the mountains and stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations. The same power that calms the sea calms the restless peoples of the world.

The third circle is the farmland. God visits the earth and waters it, drenching its furrows and softening it with showers. You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance. Hills, pastures and valleys are personified as dressed in gladness and singing. The God who forgives sin is also the God who sends rain.
