Psalm 67

To the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm. A song.

God be merciful and gracious to us and bless us and cause His face to shine upon us and among us—Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!—

That Your way may be known upon earth, Your saving power (Your deliverances and Your salvation) among all nations.

Let the peoples praise You [turn away from their idols] and give thanks to You, O God; let all the peoples praise and give thanks to You.

O let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for You will judge the peoples fairly and guide, lead, or drive the nations upon earth. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

Let the peoples praise You [turn away from their idols] and give thanks to You, O God; let all the peoples praise and give thanks to You!

The earth has yielded its harvest [in evidence of God’s approval]; God, even our own God, will bless us.

God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall reverently fear Him.

Psalm 67[a]
