Psalms 67

1For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm, a Song. God 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 salvation among all nations. 3Let the peoples praise thee, O God; Let all the peoples praise thee. 4Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy; For thou wilt judge the peoples with equity, And govern the nations upon earth. [Selah 5Let the peoples praise thee, O God; Let all the peoples praise thee. 6The earth hath yielded its increase: God, even our own God, will bless us. 7God will bless us; And all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
