< 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)
God, be merciful to us and bless us; be kind to us [IDM],
2 That your way may be known on earth, and your salvation 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 peoples praise you, God. Let all the peoples praise you.
God, I desire that [all] people-groups [will] praise you; I want them all to praise you!
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.
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 peoples praise you, God. Let all the peoples praise you.
God, I desire that the people-groups [will] praise you; I want them all to praise you!
6 The land has yielded its produce. May God, our God, bless us.
Good crops have grown on our land; God, our God, has blessed us.
7 May God bless us. Every part 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.
