Psalm 67: Prayer for the Salvation of Nations

Here is a prayer for God to have mercy on us and bless us—so that God’s mercy and blessing might be witnessed by all nations and extended to all nations. Pray it with fervency and expectancy! God created all the world for His glory and our enjoyment—He is glorified most when we take delight in our Creator and His creation. God redeemed the world through the death, burial, and resurrection of His Son for the same reason. We are promised the worship and praise of our God will come from every tribe, tongue, and nation—believe the promise, and pray for it to come to pass!

God be merciful to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us,
That Your way may be known on earth,
Your salvation among all nations.

Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy!
For You shall judge the people righteously,
And govern the nations on earth.

Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
Then the earth shall yield her increase;
God, our own God, shall bless us.
God shall bless us,
And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.
Amen!
