Psalms 65:1-13

David wrote not only a call to praise God; he also wrote what believers can say or pray to God before an actual worship service begins. As the Israelites gathered before the tabernacle or in the courts of the Temple, they prayed and waited for the priests and other worship leaders to call them to united praise to God in Zion (Jerusalem). They had vowed to praise God that day, and they wanted God to know that they had come to fulfill that vow. They also promised to fulfill any other vows that they had made to God. In this Psalm, David put into words the truths that should have been in their hearts before their worship began and during worship. Later, these and similar truths may have been spoken and sung in praise to God.
