Psalms 65:2

"For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song. Praise waits for you, God, in Zion. Vows shall be performed to you."

Key Reflection

This passage highlights a longing for divine praise and fulfillment of promises within the sacred context of Jerusalem, reflecting David's recognition that God deserves continuous worship and that His faithful people will honor their vows through song and devotion.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

O thou that hearest prayer -Who hast revealed thyself as a God hearing prayer - one of the leading characteristics of whose nature it is that thou dost hear prayer. Literally, “Hearer of prayer, to thee shall all flesh come.” Nothing as applied even to God is more sublime and beautiful than the appellative “Hearer of prayer.” Nothing in his attributes is of more interest and importance to man. Nothing more indicates his condescension and goodness; nothing so much encourages us in the endeavor to overcome our sins, to do good, to save our souls, and to save the souls of others.
