Psalms 67

1 God, be merciful to us and bless us; be kind to us [IDM],

To the chief music-maker. With corded instruments. A Psalm. A Song. May God give us mercy and blessing, and let the light of his face be shining on us; (Selah)

2 in order that [everyone in] the world may know what you want them to do, and [the people of] all nations may know that you [have the power to] save [them].

So that men may see your way on the earth, and your salvation among all nations.

3 God, I desire that [all] people-groups [will] praise you; I want them all to praise you!

Let the peoples give you praise, O God; let all the peoples give you praise.

4 I desire that [the people of all] nations will be glad and sing joyfully, because you judge the people-groups equally/justly, and you guide [all] nations in the world.

O let the nations be glad, and make song of joy; for you will be the judge of the peoples in righteousness, guiding the nations of the earth. (Selah)

5 God, I desire that the people-groups [will] praise you; I want them all to praise you!

Let the peoples give you praise, O God; let all the peoples give you praise.

6 Good crops have grown on our land; God, our God, has blessed us.

The earth has given her increase; and God, even our God, will give us his blessing.

7 [And because] God has blessed us, I desire that all [people] everywhere [MTY] on the earth will revere him.

God will give us his blessing; so let all the ends of the earth be in fear of him.
