God Deserves Praise and Glory
Psalm 65
According to the dictionary, praise means the expression of respect and gratitude as an act of worship. The word glory, on the other hand, implies high renown or honor won by notable achievements. The poet David begins this psalm by stating that God deserves praise. He continues with reasons for both praise and glory.
The first few verses of Psalm 65 refer to reasons for praising God. One can see God’s relationship with people. God hears our prayers, atones for our transgressions, allows us to stay near Him and enjoy His goodness, answers us and saves us. From verse 6, the focus is on the greatness of God’s glory based on His mighty and wonderful works. David observes the nature around him that shouts glory to God. The mountains show God’s strength, the seas and waves God’s control, and the earth and its fruits God’s providence for humanity.
What is our reaction to the One who hears our needs and prayers, frees us from sin and gives us hope? To whom do we give glory and recognition for creation, nature and everything that surrounds us? The eighth verse mentions people who see God’s signs and shout for joy. Will we join them and give praise and glory to Him who alone deserves it?
