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 (Reader) 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 people 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 the earth!

Selah pause, and calmly think of that!

Let the people 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.
