Psalm 65 Introduction

Structure and Formatting

Psalm 65 begins as a psalm of thanksgiving. David announces that he is paying a vow to God. He says what God has done for him: God has forgiven his sin. He invites people to share in a celebration meal. But after those standard elements, this turns into a psalm of worship. David describes the powerful things that God does, and he describes how people all over the world praise God for them. He then describes how God provides rain so that fields and pastures in meadows, hills, and valleys can produce good crops, and he depicts those places as praising God for that. See the discussion of the types of psalms in the introduction to the book of Psalms. 1. David’s declaration that he is paying a vow (1) 2. Statement of what God has done in answer to prayer (2–3) 3. Invitation to share in a celebration meal (4) 4. Reason to worship: God powerfully controls nature and people (5–7) 5. Description of people worshiping God for this (8) 6. Reason to worship: God sends rain to make crops grow (9–11) 7. Description of fields and pastures worshiping God for this (12–13)
