This psalm relates to the church and is calculated for the public. Here is, I. A prayer for the prosperity of the church of Israel (Psa 67:1). II. A prayer for the conversion of the Gentiles and the bringing of them into the church (Psa 67:2-5). III. A prospect of happy and glorious times when God shall do this (Psa 67:6, Psa 67:7). Thus was the psalmist carried out by the spirit of prophecy to foretel the glorious estate of the Christian church, in which Jews and Gentiles should unite in one flock, the beginning of which blessed work ought to be the matter of our joy and praise, and the completing of it of our prayer and hope, in singing this psalm. To the chief musician on Neginoth. A psalm or song.

May God Be Gracious to Us
1For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm, a Song. God be merciful unto us, and bless us, [And] cause his face to shine upon us; [Selah 2That thy way may be known upon earth, Thy salvation among all nations. 3Let the peoples praise thee, O God; Let all the peoples praise thee. 4Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy; For thou wilt judge the peoples with equity, And govern the nations upon earth. [Selah 5Let the peoples praise thee, O God; Let all the peoples praise thee. 6The earth hath yielded its increase: God, even our own God, will bless us. 7God will bless us; And all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
