1 God, be merciful to us and bless us;

be kind to us [IDM],

(Think about that!)

2 in order that everyone in the world may know what you want them to do,

and the people of all nations may know that you have the power to save them.

3 God, I desire that all people-groups will praise you;

I want them all to praise you!

4 I desire that the people of all nations will be glad and sing joyfully,

because you judge the people-groups equally/justly,

and you guide all nations in the world.

(Think about that!)

5 God, I desire that the people-groups will praise you;

I want them all to praise you!

6 Good crops have grown on our land;

God, our God, has blessed us.

7 And because God has blessed us,

I desire that all people everywhere [MTY] on the earth will revere him.
