1To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song. May God be merciful to us, and bless us, and cause His face to shine on us. Selah. 2So that Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations. 3Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples thank You. 4O let the nations be glad and sing for joy; for You shall judge the peoples righteously and govern the nations on earth. Selah. 5Let the peoples give thanks to You, O God; let all the peoples praise You. 6The earth shall yield its increase; [and] God, our own God, shall bless us. 7God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.
