What does Psalm 65:5 mean?

God performed incredible miracles in Israel's sight. These acts demonstrated His character and His unique divine power. One of His awesome deeds was the parting of the Red Sea, allowing the fleeing nation of Israel to cross with dry feet. The pursuing Egyptians, however, drowned when God brought the waters together again (Exodus 14:15–31). On that day, Israel saw the salvation of the Lord. Egypt, as well, was given a demonstration of God's power, just as they had seen during the plagues which occurred before Israel was freed (Exodus 3:19–20; 7:5).

Events such as the crossing of the Red Sea provided evidence not only to Israel, but also to the Canaanite nations. When the Hebrews secretly investigated the heavily fortified city of Jericho, one of the residents, Rahab, mentioned the miracle of the Red Sea as part of Israel's reputation (Joshua 2:10). The people of Canaan correctly interpreted this as a sign of God's immense power and His favor of His chosen people (Joshua 2:11).

As in prior verses, David points out that the hope offered by God is available to all people, not merely to the Israelites (Psalm 65:2)
