"Let all the Peoples Praise You"

Our Psalm for tomorrow is Psalm 67, which will be read in response to a lesson from the Acts of the Apostles 16:9-15.

I share this Psalm because it is brief, succinct, and can easily be memorized as a prayer. What would the world be like if "all the peoples" would praise God? It might feel more like "home sweet home."

Psalm 67

May God be merciful to us and bless us,

show us the light of his counteance and come to us.

Let your ways be known upon earth,

your saving health among all nations.

Let the peoples praise you, O God;

let all the peoples praise you.

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,

for you judge the peoples with equity

and guide all the nations upon earth.

Let the peoples praise you, O God;

let all the peoples praise you.

The earth has brought forth her increase;

may God, our own God, give us his blessing.

May God give us his blessing,

and may all the ends of the earth stand in awe of him.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now,

and will be forever.

Amen.

In peace,
