psalms 65:1 <To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.> Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

psalms 65:1 [For the choir director. A Psalm of David. A Song]. There will be silence before Thee, [and] praise in Zion, O God; And to Thee the vow will be performed.

Ps 65:1-13. This is a song of praise for God's spiritual blessings to His people and His kind providence over all the earth.

1. Praise waiteth for thee--literally, "To Thee silence praise," or (compare Ps 62:1), To Thee silence is praise--that is, Praise is waiting as a servant; it is due to Thee. So the last clause expresses the duty of paying vows. These two parts of acceptable worship, mentioned in Ps 50:14, are rendered in Zion, where God chiefly displays His mercy and receives homage.

psalms 65:1 [For the choir director. A Psalm of David. A Song]. There will be silence before Thee, [and] praise in Zion, O God; And to Thee the vow will be performed.
