Psalm 65: Praise waits for you

Read Psalm 65:1-13 before you meet.

In a few lines

Psalm 65 begins with praise that "waits" (65:1), a Hebrew word for stillness, and ends, "They shout for joy! They also sing" (65:13). And one Hebrew verb, kun, has God forming the mountains (65:6) and providing the grain (65:9).

The verse to carry

“You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance.”

Psalm 65:11

To talk about

  1. 1. "Praise waits for you, God, in Zion" (65:1). Where in your week is there room to be still before God, before the words and the songs?

  2. 2. "Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our transgressions" (65:3). What difference does it make to you that the verse ends with what God has done, and not with the sins?

  3. 3. "You crown the year with your bounty" (65:11). Looking back over this past year, what has God given that you would call his bounty?
