Quick answer
The earth yields its harvest, and God blesses His people. It links God's material blessing to His covenant care.
Overview
The psalmist notes that the land has given its produce and attributes this blessing to God, 'even our own God.' Material abundance is a sign of God's favor and faithfulness. Such blessing ultimately serves God's larger purpose of drawing the nations to Himself in Christ.
