Psalms 67

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

May God be merciful to us, bless us, and cause his face to shine on us. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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 your way may be known on earth, and your yishu'ah ·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 yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, God. Let all the peoples yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· 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.

Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you will judge the peoples with equity, and govern the nations on earth. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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

Let the peoples yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, God. Let all the peoples yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you.

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. All the ends of the earth shall fear him.
