1 For the leader; with stringed instruments. A psalm; a song.

2 May God be gracious to us and bless us; may his face shine upon us.

3 So shall your way be known upon the earth, your victory among all the nations.

4 May the peoples praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you!

5 May the nations be glad and rejoice; for you judge the peoples with fairness, you guide the nations upon the earth.

6 May the peoples praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you!

7 The earth has yielded its harvest; God, our God, blesses us.

8 May God bless us still; that the ends of the earth may revere him.

This Psalm is probably by the same one as Psalm 66. In the first two verses he calls upon God for mercy and blessing. In the remainder he calls upon the people to praise God so He will continue to bless them. This will cause all the earth to fear Him.
