Psalms 67

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

For the end, a Psalm of David among the Hymns. God be merciful to us, and bless us; [and] cause his face to shine upon us. (Pause)

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 [men] may know your way on the earth, your salvation among all nations.

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

Let the nations, O God, give thanks to you; let all the nations give thanks to 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.

Let the nations rejoice and exult, for you shall judge the peoples in equity, and shall guide the nations on the earth. (Pause)

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

Let the peoples, O God, give thanks to you; let all the peoples give thanks to you.

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

The earth has yielded her fruit; let God, our God bless us.

7 [And because] God has blessed us, I desire that all [people] everywhere [MTY] on the earth will revere him.

Let God bless us; and let all the ends of the earth fear him.
