Psalm 65:11 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 65:11

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness
The whole circling year, from one end of it to the other; particularly that season of it when the harvest is gathered in; the seed being sown, the earth watered, the springing of it blessed, and the corn brought to perfection, the year is crowned with a plentiful harvest: this may denote the acceptable year of the Lord, the year of the redeemed, the whole Gospel dispensation, ( Isaiah 61:2 ) ( 63:4 ) ; in certain seasons and periods of which there have been great gatherings of souls to Christ; at the first of it multitudes were converted in Judea, and in the Gentile world, which were the first fruits of the Spirit; and in all ages there have been more or less instances of this kind; and in the latter day there will be a large harvest, when the Jews will be converted, and the fulness of the Gentiles brought in;

and thy paths drop fatness;
the heavens, as Jarchi interprets it; or the clouds, as Kimchi; which are the chariots and horses of God, in which he rides, and are the dust of his feet, ( Psalms 104:3 ) ( Habakkuk 3:15 ) ( Nahum 1:3 ) ; and these drop down rain upon the earth, and make it fat and flourishing; and may mystically design the administration of the Gospel, and the administration of ordinances; which are the paths in which the Lord goes forth to his people, and directs them to walk in, and in which he meets them with a fulness of blessings, and satisfies them as with marrow and fatness.

Psalm 65:11 In-Context

9 En die op de einden wonen, vrezen voor Uw tekenen; Gij doet de uitgangen des morgens en des avonds juichen.
10 Gij bezoekt het land, en hebbende het begerig gemaakt, verrijkt Gij het grotelijks; de rivier Gods is vol waters; wanneer Gij het alzo bereid hebt, maakt Gij hunlieder koren gereed.
11 Gij maakt zijn omgeploegde aarde dronken; Gij doet ze dalen in zijn voren; Gij maakt het week door de druppelen; Gij zegent zijn uitspruitsel.
12 Gij kroont het jaar Uwer goedheid; en Uw voetstappen druipen van vettigheid.
13 Zij bedruipen de weiden der woestijn; en de heuvelen zijn aangegord met verheuging. [ (Psalms 65:14) De velden zijn bekleed met kudden, en de dalen zijn bedekt met koren; zij juichen, ook zingen zij. ]
