Psalm 65:12 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 65:12

They drop [upon] the pastures of the wilderness
As well as upon the ploughed land, and turn them into a fruitful field; which may denote the Gentile world, whither the Gospel was sent by Christ, and preached by his apostles; and whose doctrines dropped as the rain, and prospered to the thing whereunto they were sent, and made this wilderness as the garden of God;

and the little hills rejoice on every side;
or "joy girds the hills"; or "they are girded with joy" ^F18; or "gird themselves with joy", as the Targum; being covered on all sides with grass, herbs, and trees: these may denote the churches of Christ, and little hills of Sion, who rejoice when the interest of Christ flourishes, ( Psalms 68:14 Psalms 68:15 ) ( 14:7 ) .
