< Psalms 67 >
1 To the chief music-maker. With corded instruments. A Psalm. A Song. May God give us mercy and blessing, and let the light of his face be shining on us; (Selah)
“For the leader of the music. To be sung on stringed instruments. A psalm.” O God! be merciful to us, and bless us, And cause thy face to shine upon us! (Pause)
2 So that men may see your way on the earth, and your salvation among all nations.
That thy doings may be known on earth, And thy saving power to all the nations.
3 Let the peoples give you praise, O God; let all the peoples give you praise.
Let the nations praise thee, O God! Yea, let all the nations praise thee!
4 O let the nations be glad, and make song of joy; for you will be the judge of the peoples in righteousness, guiding the nations of the earth. (Selah)
Let all the nations be glad, and shout for joy! For justly dost thou judge the people, And govern the nations on the earth.
5 Let the peoples give you praise, O God; let all the peoples give you praise.
Let the nations praise thee, O God! Yea, let all the nations praise thee!
6 The earth has given her increase; and God, even our God, will give us his blessing.
For the earth hath yielded her increase, And God, our God, hath blessed us.
7 God will give us his blessing; so let all the ends of the earth be in fear of him.
May God continue to bless us, And may all the ends of the earth fear him!
