All the nations should praise God[a]

67 God, please be kind to us and bless us.
    Look at us with a smile on your face.
Selah.
Then people on the earth will know
    what pleases you.
People from all nations will know
    that you have the power to save them.
May people everywhere praise you, God.
    Yes, may they all praise you!
May the nations be so happy
    that they sing aloud with joy!
Because you are fair when you judge people,
    and you are a guide for all the nations of the world.
Selah.
May people everywhere praise you, God.
    Yes, may they all praise you!
The land has given us a harvest of food,
    and God, our God, continues to bless us.
God, please bless us!
Then all people everywhere will respect you.
