For the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm. A song.

1 May God be merciful to us, bless us,

and cause his face to shine on us. Selah.

2 That your way may be known on earth,

and your salvation among all nations,

3 let the peoples praise you, God.

Let all the peoples praise you.

4 Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy,

for you will judge the peoples with equity,

and govern the nations on earth. Selah.

5 Let the peoples praise you, God.

Let all the peoples praise you.

6 The earth has yielded its increase.

God, even our own God, will bless us.

7 God will bless us.

All the ends of the earth shall fear him.

1 Vir die musiekleier; met snaarinstrumente. 'n Psalm. 'n Lied.

2 Mag God ons genadig wees en ons seën; mag Hy sy aangesig by ons laat skyn! Sela.

3 Sodat die mense op aarde u weg kan ken, onder al die nasies u heil.

4 Die volke sal U loof, o God, die volke almal saam sal U loof.

5 Die nasies sal bly wees en jubel, omdat U die volke regverdig oordeel en die nasies op aarde lei. Sela.

6 Die volke sal U loof, o God, die volke almal saam sal U loof.

7 Die aarde het sy opbrings gelewer; God, onse God, sal ons seën. [ (Psalms 67:8) God sal ons seën, en al die eindes van die aarde sal Hom vrees. ]
