< Psalms 67 >
1 God, be merciful to us and bless us; be kind to us [IDM],
God be merciful to us, and bless us, and cause his face to shine upon us (Selah)
2 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].
that thy way may be known upon earth, thy salvation among all nations.
3 God, I desire that [all] people-groups [will] praise you; I want them all to praise you!
Let the peoples praise thee, O God. Let all the peoples praise thee.
4 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.
O let the nations be glad and sing for joy. For thou will judge the peoples with equity, and govern the nations upon earth. (Selah)
5 God, I desire that the people-groups [will] praise you; I want them all to praise you!
Let the peoples praise thee, O God. Let all the peoples praise thee.
6 Good crops have grown on our land; God, our God, has blessed us.
The earth has yielded its increase. God, even our own God, will bless us.
7 [And because] God has blessed us, I desire that all [people] everywhere [MTY] on the earth will revere him.
God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
