Psalms 67 YLT

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).

1To the Overseer, with stringed instruments. --A Psalm, a Song. God doth favour us and bless us, Doth cause His face to shine with us. Selah.

2For the knowledge in earth of Thy way, among all nations of Thy salvation.

3Praise Thee do peoples, O God, Praise Thee do peoples, all of them.

4Rejoice and sing do nations, For Thou judgest peoples uprightly, And peoples on earth comfortest. Selah.

5Confess Thee do peoples, O God, Confess Thee do peoples--all of them.

6Earth hath given her increase, God doth bless us--our God,

7God doth bless us, and all ends of earth fear Him!
