< Psalms 67 >
1 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; (Selah)
God, be merciful to us and bless us; be kind to us [IDM],
2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.
in order that [everyone in] the world may know what you want them to do, and [the people of] all nations may know that you [have the power to] save [them].
3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
God, I desire that [all] people-groups [will] praise you; I want them all to praise you!
4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. (Selah)
I desire that [the people of all] nations will be glad and sing joyfully, because you judge the people-groups equally/justly, and you guide [all] nations in the world.
5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
God, I desire that the people-groups [will] praise you; I want them all to praise you!
6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
Good crops have grown on our land; God, our God, has blessed us.
7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
[And because] God has blessed us, I desire that all [people] everywhere [MTY] on the earth will revere him.
