SQL statements/commands are multi-line. They must be terminated by a
semi-colon (;). It sounds as though you have forgotten this...
You can also use \g (enter \? for help on psql internal commands).

"I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto
me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an
horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet
upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath
put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God.
Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the
LORD." Psalms 40:1-3
