As we become increasingly attached to digital screens, lost in the noise of the city, and caught up in the fast pace of life, we often forget that there is another liturgy taking place all around us. It does not take place in grand buildings with choirs and organs, but in the fields, in the mountains, in the gurgling rivers, and in the fertility of the soil. Nature, in all its stillness and sound, is "worshipping." The psalmist invites us to realize this, that nature never stops praising God.

Psalm 65 opens on a note of recognition and gratitude, that God is the source of forgiveness, where people rediscover happiness (verse 1–5). Not stopping at personal relationships, the psalmist goes on to acknowledge that the same God is the Ruler of the cosmos, who upholds the mountains, calms the roar of the seas, and the tumult of the nations (verses 7-8). He turns to a beautiful ecological picture, making the land fertile, enriching it with abundant produce, pastures clothed with flocks of sheep, all cheering and singing. This is the "liturgy of nature," where creation itself becomes the singing congregation.

Worship is not merely a human ritual to God, but an awareness that the whole of creation is in dialog with the Creator. Martin Buber, a famous Jewish theologian and philosopher with his work "I and Thou" emphasized that the core of life is a true personal relationship. In the light of his thought, this relationship does not only occur between humans and God, but also includes the earth, mountains, rivers, and all of creation that also greet God with the cry of "Thou." From here, Psalm 65 reminds us that the environmental crisis is basically not just a technical or scientific problem, but also a "liturgical crisis", we forget that nature is worshiping, and we are the ones who disrupt the harmony of praise.

Friends of the Bible, today's psalm invites us to realize that there is a great liturgy outside the building of worship, namely the liturgy of nature that endlessly praises the Creator. When we see the rain falling, the fertile soil, and the mountains standing tall, we are witnessing the song of praise of the cosmos. The question is, are our lives in harmony with that song, or are we making a mockery of it by destroying creation? Let us reorganize the way we worship, not only by singing with our lips, but also by living in a way that is friendly to the earth. Because caring for nature means helping to maintain the harmony of the liturgy of the cosmos, a symphony of praise addressed to the Creator.
