The 65th Psalm praise the God of forgiveness and the God of creation. It continues the theme that every bit of what was created was created exactly on purpose, the way it was meant to be, and nothing was left to chance.
It is a wonderful, praiseworthy thing to be forgiven, especially by the Almighty. If he forgives you, what's stopping you from forgiving others?
Another rather striking idea is where the Psalmist writes that those far away fear God's wonders. Where those who follow God closely have no cause for alarm. God's wonders are a thing of beauty, of protection and provision, and of safety. Not so for those who wander far from God.
Everything that was created was created with a specific purpose. I love the language in the final 3 verses. It sounds as though some creation is decorated with other creation. God has an aesthetic. The fields are richly ornamented, well-dressed. Very interesting language.
