Psalm 85
1. The Psalmist, out of the experience of former mercies, prays for continuance thereof.
8. He promises to wait thereon, out of confidence of God's goodness














The LORD will indeed provide what is good
This phrase begins with the assurance of divine provision. The Hebrew word for "provide" is "natan," which means to give or bestow. This reflects God's generous nature and His willingness to supply the needs of His people. Historically, this assurance would resonate deeply with the Israelites, who often faced periods of scarcity and relied on God's provision, as seen in the manna provided during their wilderness journey (Exodus 16). The phrase "what is good" underscores the quality of God's gifts, aligning with James 1:17, which states that every good and perfect gift is from above. This reflects a theological understanding that God’s provisions are not only sufficient but also beneficial and perfect for His people.

and our land will yield its harvest
The phrase "our land" refers to the Promised Land, a central theme in the Old Testament, symbolizing God's covenant and blessings to Israel. The Hebrew word for "land" is "erets," which can mean earth or territory, emphasizing the physical and spiritual inheritance given to the Israelites. The "harvest" signifies abundance and prosperity, a direct result of God's blessing. In an agrarian society, a bountiful harvest was a sign of divine favor and faithfulness. This promise of productivity and fruitfulness is a recurring theme in the Bible, often linked to obedience and faithfulness to God's commandments (Deuteronomy 28:1-14). Theologically, this can be seen as a metaphor for spiritual fruitfulness in the lives of believers, as they remain connected to God, the source of all blessings.

Verse 12. - Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; i.e. shower blessings on his laud, both spiritual and temporal. And our land shall yield her increase. Other crops may be included, but the special reference is to a large increase of good works.
