< 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)
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song. God be merciful to 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 thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.
3 May the people praise you, God; may all the people praise you.
Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
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 thou shalt 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 thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
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, will bless us.
7 God will bless us, and all people everywhere will respect him.
God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
