Psalms 65:5-8

The God Who Hears, Atones, and Crowns the Year with Bounty

Psalm 65 moves from Zion worship and atoned guilt, to God’s righteous answers and universal rule, to creation’s watered abundance and harvest praise.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

5With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.

6You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.

7You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.

8Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.
