Psalms 67 – Let All the People Praise Thee

A short blessing that God's ways be known to all nations.

Psalms 67: God Be Merciful Unto Us

One of the shortest chapters in the Psalms overview, this psalm asks for God's blessing not for its own sake but so His saving health becomes known among all nations. Its refrain, repeated twice, calls every people to praise Him.


(一篇詩 歌,交與伶長。用絲弦的樂器。)願 神 憐憫我們,賜福與我們,用臉 光照 我們,(細拉)

好叫世界 得知 你的道路,萬 國 得知你的救恩。

神啊,願列邦 稱讚你!願萬 民 都稱讚你!

願萬國 都快樂 歡呼;因為 你必按公正 審判 萬民,引導 世上 的萬國。(細拉)

神啊,願列邦 稱讚你!願萬 民 都稱讚你!

地 已經出了 土產; 神─就是我們的 神 要賜福與我們。

神 要賜福與我們;地 的四 極 都要敬畏 他!

The psalm closes by tying blessing to harvest, promising that the earth will yield its increase as God blesses His people, an idea also touched in <a href="/bible/chiun/psalms/chapter-4/6">Psalms 4:6</a>. <a href="/bible/chiun/psalms/chapter-68">Psalms 68</a> follows with a much longer hymn of triumph.
