Psalms 67 ASV

Summary: A brief harvest thanksgiving psalm with an unusually outward-facing, almost missionary horizon, Psalm 67 asks for God's blessing not for its own sake but "that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations" (v. 1-2). Its refrain calls for "all the peoples" to praise God twice over (v. 3, 5), envisioning the nations being glad and singing for joy because God judges the peoples with equity. It closes tying the request full circle, that God's blessing of the harvest, "the earth has yielded its increase," will lead "all the ends of the earth" to fear him (v. 6-7).

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.
