Psalms 67

1 May God be merciful to us, bless us, and cause his face to shine on us. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

For the leader. On stringed instruments. A psalm. A song. Bless us, O God, with your favor, let the light of your face fall upon us; (Selah)

2 That your way may be known on earth, and your yishu'ah ·salvation· among all nations,

that the world may know your way, and all nations your power to save.

3 let the peoples yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, God. Let all the peoples yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you.

Let the peoples praise you, O God; let the peoples all of them praise you.

4 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·.

Let the nations ring out their joy; for you govern the peoples with equity, and guide the nations on earth. (Selah)

5 Let the peoples yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, God. Let all the peoples yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you.

Let the peoples praise you, O God, let the peoples, all of them, praise you.

6 The earth has yielded its increase. God, even our own God, will bless us.

The earth has yielded her increase by the blessing of God, our God.

7 God will bless us. All the ends of the earth shall fear him.

May this blessing of ours win people to him to all the ends of the earth.
