< Psalms 67 >
1 For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments. A psalm. A song. May God be gracious to us and bless us. May he look favorably on us. (Selah)
God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; (Selah)
2 May everyone on earth come to know your ways, your salvation among all people.
That your way may be known upon earth, your saving health among all nations.
3 May the people praise you, God; may all the people praise you.
Let the people praise you, O God; let all the people praise you.
4 May they be happy and sing for joy because you judge people fairly, and you guide everyone on earth. (Selah)
O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for you shall judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. (Selah)
5 May the people praise you, God; may all the people praise you.
Let the people praise you, O God; let all the people praise you.
6 The earth has produced its crops; and God, our God, has blessed us.
Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
7 God will bless us, and all people everywhere will respect him.
God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
