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














(11) Thou crownest.--Better, hast crowned. We generally connect the idea of completion with this metaphor, but the original thought in the Hebrew word, as in the Greek ?????, is probably to encompass. Comp. the Latin corono in Lucretius, 2:802--

"Sylva coronat aquas ingens nemus omne."

All "the circle of the golden year" had been attended by Divine goodness. The meaning seems to be that God had made a year which was naturally prosperous still more abundant.

Paths.--The root from which the Hebrew word is formed means to roll, or revolve, and it often means the track made by a wheel. This idea may be present since God is often represented in Hebrew poetry as riding on a chariot of clouds, generally with the association of wrath and destruction (Psalm 18:10; Psalm 68:4), but here, with the thought of plenty and peace following on His track, as in the Latin poet--

"Te fugiunt venti, te nubila c?li

Adventumque tuum, tibi suaves d?dala tellus

Submittit flores, tibi rident aequora ponti

Placatumque ridet diffuso lumine c?lum." . . .

Verse 11. - Thou crownest the year with thy goodness. As God had begun, so he goes on to the "crowning" of the whole. And thy paths drop fatness. As he moves about, visiting the earth (ver. 9), there drop from him fertility and abundance.
