Commentary on Psalms 65:6

Theological / Devotional

The mountains. See Ps. 36:6 ; 95:4. Few things give more sublime concept of God’s strength than the contemplation of lofty mountains. The Alps, the Himalayas, and the Rockies are silent witnesses to the power of God.

Girded. God is figuratively represented as girded with power (see Ps. 93:1), an allusion to the practice of a man’s girding himself when about to exert his strength. In Bible lands it is still a common sight to see a man gather in the loose folds of his outer garments and tuck them under his belt so that he will be unhampered in the task that he is about to perform.
