Psalms 67

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

“To the chief musician on Neginoth, a psalm or song.” May God be gracious unto us, and bless us; may he 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 upon earth men may know thy way, among all nations thy salvation.

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

The people will thank thee, O God; the people, all of them together, will thank 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.

Nations will rejoice and sing for joy: when thou judgest the people righteously, and guidest the nations upon earth. (Selah)

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

The people will thank thee, O God; the people, all of them together, will thank thee.

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

The earth yieldeth her products: [yea, ] God, our own God, 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.
