1The nations exhorted to praise God.
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm, a Song.
God be merciful unto us, and bless us,And cause his face to shine 1upon us; Selah2That thy way may be known upon earth,Thy salvation among all nations.3Let the peoples 2praise thee, O God;Let all the peoples praise thee.4Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy;For thou wilt judge the peoples with equity,And 3govern the nations upon earth. Selah5Let the peoples praise thee, O God;Let all the peoples praise thee.6The earth hath yielded its increase:God, even our own God, will bless us.7God will bless us;And all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
