The Psalms

Psalm 67

A prayer for the enlargement of God's kingdom, 1, 2; to the joy of the people, 3-5; and the increase of God's blessings, 6, 7.

1 [To the Chief Musician on Neginoth. A Psalm or Song.] May God be merciful to us and bless us and cause his face to shine upon us. [Selah.]

2 Then your way may be known upon earth, your saving health among all nations.

3 Let the people praise you, O God. Let all the people praise you.

4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you shall judge the people righteously and govern the nations upon earth. [Selah.]

5 Let the people praise you, O God. Let all the people praise you.

6 Then the earth shall yield her increase, and God, even our own God, will bless us.

7 God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

Notes

John Calvin's Chapter Summary:

The following psalm contains a prayer for a blessing upon the Church, that besides being preserved in a state of safety in Judea, it might be enlarged to a new and unprecedented extent. It touches shortly upon the kingdom of God, which was to be erected in the world upon the coming of Christ.
