| 1 | God be merciful
and
gracious to us and bless us and cause His face to shine upon us
and
among us—
Selah
[pause, and calmly think of that]!— |
| 2 | That Your way may be known upon earth, Your saving power (Your deliverances and Your salvation) among all nations. |
| 3 | Let the peoples praise You [turn away from their idols]
and
give thanks to You, O God; let all the peoples praise
and
give thanks to You. |
| 4 | O let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for You will judge the peoples fairly and guide, lead,
or
drive the nations upon earth.
Selah
[pause, and calmly think of that]! |
| 5 | Let the peoples praise You [turn away from their idols]
and
give thanks to You, O God; let all the peoples praise
and
give thanks to You! |
| 6 | The earth has yielded its harvest [in evidence of God’s approval]; God, even our own God, will bless us. |
| 7 | God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall reverently fear Him. |
