For the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm. A song.
1 May God be merciful to us, bless us,
and cause his face to shine on us. Selah. 2 That your way may be known on earth,
and your salvation among all nations, 3 let the peoples praise you, God.
Let all the peoples praise you. 4 Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you will judge the peoples with equity,
and govern the nations on earth. Selah. 5 Let the peoples praise you, God.
Let all the peoples praise you. 6 The earth has yielded its increase.
God, even our own God, will bless us. 7 God will bless us.
All the ends of the earth shall fear him.
