1 To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm: a Song. God be gracious 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 Let the nations rejoice and sing for joy: for thou wilt judge the peoples equitably; and the nations upon earth, thou wilt guide them. Selah. 5 Let the peoples praise thee, O God; let all the peoples praise thee. 6 The earth will yield her increase; God, our God, will bless us: 7 God will bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
