Psalms 65:7
5 With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.
6 You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.
You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.
8 Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.
9 You attend to the earth and water it; with abundance You enrich it. The streams of God are full of water, for You prepare our grain by providing for the earth.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
