Psalm 65
1. David praises God for his grace
4. The blessedness of God's chosen by reason of benefits














(10) Thou waterest . . . settlest.--Better, by watering . . . settling.

Ridges . . . furrows.--These terms would be better transposed since by "settling" (literally, pressing down) is meant the softening of the ridges of earth between the furrows. The LXX. and Vulgate have "multiply its shoots."

Showers.--Literally, multitudes (of drops).

Verse 10. - Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly; rather, the furrows (Hengstenberg, Kay, Cheyne, Revised Version). Thou settlest the furrows thereof; rather, thou smoothest down its ridges. So covering up the grain, and bringing the rough ploughed land to a comparatively smooth surface. Thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. The whole ground being softened with warm showers, the springing of the blade begins under God's blessing.
