Psalm 67

For the worship leader. A song accompanied by strings.

Psalm 67 echoes the priestly blessing (Numbers 6:24–26) and invites all nations to join in praise to the one True God.

1 May God pour His grace and blessings into us
    and turn His face to shine His light on us.

[pause][a]

2 So all those on earth will learn to follow Your way
    and see Your saving power come to redeem all nations.
3 May all people live to praise You, Our True God;
    may all come to praise You.

4 May all nations celebrate together, singing joy-filled songs of praise to You
    because You judge the people fairly
    and give guidance to all the nations of the earth.

[pause]

5 May the people praise You with their whole hearts, O God;
    may every man, woman, and child on the earth praise You.

6 The land has supplied a bountiful harvest,
    and the True God, our God, has poured out His blessings to us all.
7 God is the source of our blessings;
    may every corner of the earth respect and revere Him.
