Psalms 67

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

To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm: a Song. God be gracious unto us, and bless us, [and] cause his face to shine upon 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].

That thy way may be known upon earth, thy 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 praise thee, O God, let all the peoples praise thee.

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.

Let the nations rejoice and sing for joy: for thou wilt judge the peoples equitably; and the nations upon earth, thou wilt guide them. (Selah)

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

Let the peoples praise thee, O God; let all the peoples praise thee.

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

The earth will yield her increase; God, our God, will bless us:

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

God will bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
