teach us to balance our petitions with praise.
In the four previous psalms, David desperately cried out to God at a critical time in his life, most likely during Absalom’s revolt against him.
Those who arranged the Hebrew hymnal strategically placed four psalms of thanksgiving and praise immediately after these intense pleas, showing us how to express our gratitude to God for His goodness. “It was meant that Psalms of pleading and longing should be followed by hymns of praise.”
Because of God’s Mighty Acts in maintaining the Creation Order and making it fruitful so that we can be blessed

When You Have a Deep Sense of Gratitude for God’s Goodness, 65:1–13
Leadership Ministries Worldwide. (2015). Psalms: Chapters 42–106 (Vol. II, p. 158). Chattanooga, TN: Leadership Ministries Worldwide.
This is a praise psalm, full of hopeful, confident, even enthusiastic feelings in response to God’s goodness with no complaints or curses. The setting is a celebration at the tabernacle, perhaps at the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the spring, or the Feast of Tabernacles in the fall.
Most commentators believe it was written for one of the Jewish harvest festivals, either the Feast of Unleavened Bread () or the Feast of Tabernacles ().
Bible teacher Warren Wiersbe notes that the phrase crown the year (v. 11) and the mention of atonement for sins (v. 3) point to the Feast of Tabernacles, which is held near the beginning of the Jewish year and is immediately preceded by the Day of Atonement. The performance of vows (v. 1), the answer of prayers (vv. 2, 5), and the mention of national turmoil (v. 7) suggest was written after God delivered David and Israel from a threatening crisis.

Psalm 65:3 ESV
3 When iniquities prevail against me, you atone for our transgressions.

Atone= KJV Purge them away (kaphar) is the Hebrew word for atone or to make atonement
We cannot fully appreciate the greatness of God’s atonement until we fully comprehend the depth of our sin. “Iniquities prevail against me” is literally translated as words or matters of iniquity have prevailed against me.
This statement expresses that we have been completely overcome by our sin and the guilt or consequences of it
