Reasons to praise

Now we're going to be meditating on Psalm 65 together.

And it's such a beautiful Psalm.

And yeah, I'd like us to read that together.

So I can't hear you.

However, I am imagining my brothers and sisters reading this Psalm with me.

And then we will take some time to just meditate on what what was David's heart when he wrote these Psalms this Psalm because it's a Psalm of David it's a song so Psalm 65 read it with me it says praise awaits you our God in Zion to you our vows will be fulfilled you who answer prayer to you all people will come When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave our transgressions.

Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts.

We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple.

You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds, God our Saviour, the hope of all the ends of the earth.

And of the farthest seas, who formed the mountains by your powers, having armed yourself with strength? Who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations? The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders.

where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.

You care for the land and water it.

You enrich it abundantly.

The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it.

You drench its furrows and level its ridges.

You soften it with showers and bless its crops.

You crown the year with your bounty and your carts overflow with abundance.

The grasslands of the wilderness overflow.

The hills are clothed with gladness.

The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain.

They shout for joy and sing.
