Psalms 67

1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song. God be merciful to us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; (Selah)

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 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.

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

3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

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

4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. (Selah)

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

5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

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

6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

The earth has produced its crops; and God, our God, has blessed us.

7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

God will bless us, and all people everywhere will respect him.
