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)

May God be merciful to us, bless us, and cause his face to shine on us. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

2 So that men may see your way on the earth, and your salvation among all nations.

That your way may be known on earth, and your yishu'ah ·salvation· among all nations,

3 Let the peoples give you praise, O God; let all the peoples give you praise.

let the peoples yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, God. Let all the peoples yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you.

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)

Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you will judge the peoples with equity, and govern the nations on earth. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

5 Let the peoples give you praise, O God; let all the peoples give you praise.

Let the peoples yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, God. Let all the peoples yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you.

6 The earth has given her increase; and God, even our God, will give us his blessing.

The earth has yielded its increase. God, even our own God, will bless us.

7 God will give us his blessing; so let all the ends of the earth be in fear of him.

God will bless us. All the ends of the earth shall fear him.
