Psalm 67
1599 Geneva Bible
67 1 A prayer of the Church to obtain the favor of God and to be lightened with his countenance. 2 To the end that his way and judgment may be known throughout the earth. 7 And finally is declared the kingdom of God, which should be universally erected at the coming of Christ.
To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalm or song.
1 God be merciful unto us, and bless us, and [a]cause his face to shine among us. (Selah.)
2 That [b]they may know thy way upon earth, and thy saving health among all nations.
3 Let the people praise thee, O God: let all the people praise thee.
4 [c]Let the people be glad and rejoice: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon the earth. Selah.
5 Let the people praise thee, O God: let all the people praise thee.
6 Then shall [d]the earth bring forth her increase, and God, even our God shall bless us.
7 God shall bless us, and all the ends of the earth [e]shall fear him.
