< Psalms 67 >
1 To the Chief Musician. With stringed Instruments. A Melody, a Song. God, be favorable to us and bless us, 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 throughout the earth, Throughout all nations, thy saving help!
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 Peoples will praise thee, O God, Peoples will, all of them, praise thee,
God, I desire that [all] people-groups [will] praise you; I want them all to praise you!
4 Races of men, will be glad and shout for joy, Because thou wilt judge peoples with equity, And, races of men throughout the earth, thou wilt lead. (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 Peoples will praise thee, O God, —Peoples will, all of them, praise thee.
God, I desire that the people-groups [will] praise you; I want them all to praise you!
6 Earth, will have given her increase, God, our own God, will bless us:
Good crops have grown on our land; God, our God, has blessed us.
7 God, will bless us, That all the ends of the earth, may revere him.
[And because] God has blessed us, I desire that all [people] everywhere [MTY] on the earth will revere him.
