Psalms 67

1 God, be merciful to us and bless us; be kind to us [IDM],

For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments. A psalm. A song. May God be gracious to us and bless us. May he look favorably on 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].

May everyone on earth come to know your ways, your salvation among all people.

3 God, I desire that [all] people-groups [will] praise you; I want them all to praise you!

May the people praise you, God; may all the people praise you.

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.

May they be happy and sing for joy because you judge people fairly, and you guide everyone on earth. (Selah)

5 God, I desire that the people-groups [will] praise you; I want them all to praise you!

May the people praise you, God; may all the people praise you.

6 Good crops have grown on our land; God, our God, has blessed us.

The earth has produced its crops; and God, our God, has blessed 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 people everywhere will respect him.
