The Nations Exhorted to Praise God.
To the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.
1 God be graciousandkind-hearted to us and bless us,
And make His face shine [with favor] on us– Selah.
2 That Your way may be known on earth,
Your salvationanddeliverance among all nations.
3 Let thepeoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
For You will judge the people fairly
And guide the nations on earth. Selah.
5 Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
6 The earth has yielded its harvest [as evidence of His approval];
God, our God, blesses us.
7 God blesses us,
And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder].
