Psalms 67
The psalmist asks God to be merciful and bless them, causing His face to shine upon them. This blessing is sought so that God's ways and salvation may be known among all nations, prompting the people to praise Him. The psalmist looks forward to God judging the people righteously and governing the nations, leading to a time of abundance and universal reverence for God.
1God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.2That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.3Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.4O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.5Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.6Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.7God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
