PSALM 67

Psa 67:1-7. A prayer that, by God's blessing on His people, His salvation and praise may be extended over the earth.

1. cause his face to shine--show us favor (Nu 6:24, 25; Psa 31:16).

2. thy way--of gracious dealing (Is 55:8), as explained by-- saving health--or literally, "salvation."

3-5. Thanks will be rendered for the blessings of His wise and holy government (compare Is 2:3, 4; 11:4).

6-7. The blessings of a fruitful harvest are mentioned as types of greater and spiritual blessings, under which all nations shall fear and love God.
