The Nations exhorted to praise God.
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm, a Song.

1 God be merciful unto us, and bless us,
And cause his face to shine upon us; {Selah
2 That thy way may be known upon earth,
Thy salvation among all nations.
3 Let the peoples praise thee, O God;
Let all the peoples praise thee.
4 Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy;
For thou wilt judge the peoples with equity,
And govern the nations upon earth. {Selah
5 Let the peoples praise thee, O God;
Let all the peoples praise thee.
6 The earth yieldeth its increase:
God, even our own God, will bless us.
7 God will bless us;
And all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
