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