Psalm 67

All Will Praise God

For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.

May God be gracious to us and bless us;
may he make his face shine upon us(A)Selah
so that your way may be known on earth,
your salvation among all nations.(B)

Let the peoples praise you, God;
let all the peoples praise you.(C)
Let the nations rejoice and shout for joy,
for you judge the peoples with fairness
and lead the nations on earth.(D)Selah
Let the peoples praise you, God,
let all the peoples praise you.(E)

The earth has produced its harvest;
God, our God, blesses us.(F)
God will bless us,
and all the ends of the earth will fear him.(G)

14 Sing for joy, Daughter Zion;
shout loudly, Israel!
Be glad and celebrate with all your heart,
Daughter Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has removed your punishment;
he has turned back your enemy.
The King of Israel, the Lord, is among you;
you need no longer fear harm.
16 On that day it will be said to Jerusalem:
“Do not fear;
Zion, do not let your hands grow weak.(A)
17 The Lord your God is among you,
a warrior(B) who saves.
He will rejoice over you(C) with gladness.
He will be quiet[a] in his love.
He will delight in you with singing.”(D)

18 I will gather those who have been driven(E)
from the appointed festivals;
they will be a tribute from you[b]
and a reproach on her.[c]
19 Yes, at that time
I will deal with all who oppress you.
I will save the lame(F) and gather the outcasts;(G)
I will make those who were disgraced
throughout the earth
receive praise and fame.
20 At that time I will bring you[d] back,
yes, at the time I will gather you.
I will give you fame and praise
among all the peoples of the earth,
when I restore your fortunes(H) before your eyes.
The Lord has spoken.

The Damascus Road

Now Saul was still breathing threats and murder against the disciples(A) of the Lord. He went to the high priest(B) and requested letters(C) from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women who belonged to the Way,(D) he might bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem. As(E) he traveled and was nearing Damascus, a light from heaven suddenly flashed around him. Falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”

“Who are you, Lord?” Saul said.

“I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting,” he replied. “But get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the sound but seeing no one.(F) Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing. So they took him by the hand and led him into Damascus. He was unable to see for three days and did not eat or drink.
