< Psalms 67 >
1 [For the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm. A song.] May God be merciful to us, bless us, and cause his face to shine 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 That your way may be known on earth, and your salvation among all nations,
That thy doings may be known on earth, And thy saving power to all the nations.
3 let the peoples praise you, God. Let all the peoples praise you.
Let the nations praise thee, O God! Yea, let all the nations praise thee!
4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you will judge the world in righteousness. You will judge the peoples with equity, and guide the nations on earth.
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 Let the peoples praise you, God. Let all the peoples praise you.
Let the nations praise thee, O God! Yea, let all the nations praise thee!
6 The land has yielded its produce. May God, our God, bless us.
For the earth hath yielded her increase, And God, our God, hath blessed us.
7 May God bless us. Every part of the earth shall fear him.
May God continue to bless us, And may all the ends of the earth fear him!
