The Nations Called to Praise God

To the leader: with stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.

May God be gracious to us and bless us
    and make his face to shine upon us, Selah(A)
that your way may be known upon earth,
    your saving power among all nations.(B)
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
    let all the peoples praise you.

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
    for you judge the peoples with equity
    and guide the nations upon earth. Selah(C)
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
    let all the peoples praise you.(D)

The earth has yielded its increase;
    God, our God, has blessed us.(E)
May God continue to bless us;
    let all the ends of the earth revere him.(F)

The River of Life

22 Then the angel[a] showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb(A) through the middle of the street of the city. On either side of the river is the tree of life[b] with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each month, and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.(B) Nothing accursed will be found there any more.
