4 Happy is the man of your selection, to whom you give a resting-place in your house; we will be full of the good things out of your holy place.
Happy are they whose resting-place is in your house: they will still be praising you. (Selah.)
The delights of your house will be showered on them; you will give them drink from the river of your pleasures.
My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;
See how the Lord has made great his mercy for me; the Lord will give ear to my cry.
And there came to my ears a great voice out of the high seat, saying, See, the Tent of God is with men, and he will make his living-place with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them, and be their God. And he will put an end to all their weeping; and there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying, or pain; for the first things have come to an end.
They will never be in need of food or drink: and they will never again be troubled by the burning heat of the sun: For the Lamb who is on the high seat will be their keeper and their guide to fountains of living water: and God will make glad their eyes for ever.
Even as he made selection of us in him from the first, so that we might be holy and free from all evil before him in love:
Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.
As for me, I will see your face in righteousness: when I am awake it will be joy enough for me to see your form.
<A Psalm. Of David.> Lord, who may have a resting-place in your tent, a living-place on your holy hill?
But it is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, loved by the Lord, because it was the purpose of God from the first that you might have salvation, being made holy by the Spirit and by faith in what is true:
For I have given new strength to the tired soul and to every sorrowing soul in full measure.
So they will come with songs on the high places, flowing together to the good things of the Lord, to the grain and the wine and the oil, to the young ones of the flock and of the herd: their souls will be like a watered garden, and they will have no more sorrow. Then the virgin will have joy in the dance, and the young men and the old will be glad: for I will have their weeping turned into joy, I will give them comfort and make them glad after their sorrow. I will give the priests their desired fat things, and my people will have a full measure of my good things, says the Lord.

Psalm 65
In this psalm we are directed to give to God the glory of his power and goodness, which appear,
These are blessings we are all indebted to God for, and therefore we may easily accommodate this psalm to ourselves in singing it.
To the chief musician. A psalm and song of David.
Psa 65:1-5
The psalmist here has no particular concern of his own at the throne of grace, but begins with an address to God, as the master of an assembly and the mouth of a congregation; and observe,
Psa 65:6-13
That we may be the more affected with the wonderful condescensions of the God of grace, it is of use to observe his power and sovereignty as the God of nature, the riches and bounty of his providential kingdom.
