< Psalms 67 >
1 TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM. A SONG. God favors us and blesses us, [And] causes His face to shine with us. (Selah)
May God be merciful to us, bless us, and cause his face to shine on us. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
2 For the knowledge of Your way in earth, Your salvation among all nations.
That your way may be known on earth, and your yishu'ah ·salvation· among all nations,
3 Peoples praise You, O God, Peoples praise You, all of them.
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 Nations rejoice and sing, For You judge peoples uprightly, And comfort peoples 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 Peoples confess You, O God, Peoples confess You—all of them.
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 Earth has given her increase, God blesses us—our God,
The earth has yielded its increase. God, even our own God, will bless us.
7 God blesses us, and all the ends of the earth fear Him!
God will bless us. All the ends of the earth shall fear him.
