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 amongst 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.
