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)

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

2 May everyone on earth come to know your ways, your salvation among all people.

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

3 May the people praise you, God; may all the people praise you.

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 May they be happy and sing for joy because you judge people fairly, and you guide everyone on 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 May the people praise you, God; may all the people praise you.

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 produced its crops; and God, our God, has blessed us.

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

7 God will bless us, and all people everywhere will respect him.

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