David praises God in this Psalm, for the way God cares for and nourishes the land and His people. He acknowledges that God is the hope for all people, even those who sail on distant seas. God is our hope and the hope for those who are yet to acknowledge Him. This can be easy to forget when we consider other nations or far off lands. It can be easy to demonize people we don’t know. A better strategy would be to pray for them ~ to find the One to put their hope in.

See you tomorrow for Psalm 66.
