261. Psalm 67

1. O God, show mercy to us, and bless us with your grace,
And cause to shine upon us the brightness of your face,
So that your way most holy on the Earth may soon be known,
And unto ev'ry people your saving grace be shown.
Let all the peoples praise you, let all the nations sing;
In ev'ry land let praises and songs of gladness ring.

2. For you will judge the peoples in truth and righteousness,
And on the Earth all nations will your just rule confess.
Let all the peoples praise you; let all the nations sing.
Then Earth in rich abundance to us its fruit will bring.
The Lord our God will bless us; our God will blessing send,
And all the Earth will worship to its remotest end.
