Psalm 67

(S.M.)

To the cheef Musitian, upon Neginoth, a Psalme, a song. It expresseth a longing for the universall Spreading of that saving grace which is offred to Jewes & Gentiles; & shewes the blessednes which will succeed the same. It is daylie sung in our Liturgie for the enlargment of the Catholick Faith.

1. Thy blessing, Lord, bestowe;
Shewe us thy glor’ous Face, (Selah.)
That all the world, thy waies may knowe
And see thy saving-grace.

2. Let all men give thee praise;
Let all sing praise to thee:
Let nations all sing out thy praise,
For thou their Judge must be.

3. God is the Nations’ kinge; (Selah.)
Let Nations all therefore,
Let Nations all, unto him, sing
And praise him ever more.

4. Then earth shall give encrease;
And God, whose Folke we are,
That God shall us vouchsafe to blesse,
And him, the world shall fear.

Allmighty God, vouchsafe that we, whome thou has alreadie enlightned with a gratious measure of thy Saving knowledge, may so evidently enjoy also thy protection & the continuall brightnes of thy Favour; that all the Nations of the world, beholding the benifit of thy Service, may be allured to joyne with us in magnifienge of thee. Let also a due consideration that thou art Universall king, & makes us beleeve that thou hast provided means of salvation for all thy Subjects: and let the remembrance that thou art universall Judge, make us all so fruitfull that thou maist be universally feared & glorified, & we blessed world without end. Amen.
