May the Nations Praise God

Psalm 67 (NLT)

1 May God be merciful and bless us.

May His face smile with favor on us.

Interlude

2 May Your ways be known throughout the earth,

Your saving power among people everywhere.

3 May the nations praise You, O God.

Yes, may all the nations praise you.

4 Let the whole world sing for joy,

because You govern the nations with justice

and guide the people of the whole world.

Interlude

5 May the nations praise You, O God.

Yes, may all the nations praise You.

6 Then the earth will yield its harvests,

and God, our God, will richly bless us.

7 Yes, God will bless us,

and people all over the world will fear Him.

You, Lord, are my Shepherd-King. You have sought me time, and time again. You have rescued me from the darkest of pits and established my feet, my stance, upon the Rock. You have whispered my name; gratefully I recognized Your voice. You render such passionate care, yet I recognize You wield a mighty sword, and You rule the nations. Thank You.
