< Psalms 67 >
1 God, be merciful to us and bless us; be kind to us [IDM],
To the Chief Musician. With stringed Instruments. A Melody, a Song. God, be favorable to us and bless us, 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 throughout the earth, Throughout all nations, thy saving help!
3 God, I desire that [all] people-groups [will] praise you; I want them all to praise you!
Peoples will praise thee, O God, Peoples will, all of them, 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.
Races of men, will be glad and shout for joy, Because thou wilt judge peoples with equity, And, races of men throughout the earth, thou wilt lead. (Selah)
5 God, I desire that the people-groups [will] praise you; I want them all to praise you!
Peoples will praise thee, O God, —Peoples will, all of them, praise thee.
6 Good crops have grown on our land; God, our God, has blessed us.
Earth, will have given her increase, God, 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, That all the ends of the earth, may revere him.
