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