Psalms 67

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 peoples praise thee, O God; let all the peoples praise thee. 4O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt 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 her increase: God, even our own God, shall bless us. 7God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
