Psalms 67 · Grade 4
Blessed to Be a Blessing
Read and Think
Psalm 67 is a Psalm and a song for stringed instruments. Its first line echoes the blessing priests spoke over Israel in Numbers 6: May God be merciful to us, bless us, and cause his face to shine on us. A shining face is a picture of a smile, showing favor and kindness.
But the blessing has a purpose beyond Israel: That your way may be known on earth, and your salvation among all nations. God blesses his people so the whole world can see what he is like.
Twice the psalm says, Let the peoples praise you, God. Let all the peoples praise you. The nations are glad, because God judges them with equity and governs them. The harvest is in, and God will bless us, so that all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
