Commentary on Psalms 65:8

Theological / Devotional

Uttermost parts. Regions far from civilized lands, whose inhabitants may not have known God as it was the privilege of the Hebrews to know Him.

Afraid at thy tokens. They are awe-struck by the evidences of God’s power in the forces of nature (see Rom. 1:19, 20). Reverence is becoming to those who see in nature the glory of God.

Outgoings. Literally, “goings forth,” “places of departure,” or “risings.” Perhaps the poet has in mind the splendid pictures of sunrise and sunset. Happy the man who finds his delight in nature, and is led to nature’s God.
