The psalmist asks God to have mercy and bless them, and to reveal his ways to the world, so that all nations may know his salvation. The psalmist expresses a desire for all peoples to confess and praise God, who judges and directs the nations with fairness. The earth is fruitful, and the psalmist asks God to bless them and inspire fear in all the ends of the earth.
