< 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)
“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 May everyone on earth come to know your ways, your salvation among all people.
That thy doings may be known on earth, And thy saving power to all the nations.
3 May the people praise you, God; may all the people praise you.
Let the nations praise thee, O God! Yea, let all the nations praise thee!
4 May they be happy and sing for joy because you judge people fairly, and you guide everyone on 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 May the people praise you, God; may all the people praise you.
Let the nations praise thee, O God! Yea, let all the nations praise thee!
6 The earth has produced its crops; and God, our God, has blessed us.
For the earth hath yielded her increase, And God, our God, hath blessed us.
7 God will bless us, and all people everywhere will respect him.
May God continue to bless us, And may all the ends of the earth fear him!
