3 Let the peoples praise thee, O God, let all the peoples praise thee.
For not Sheol shall praise thee, nor death celebrate thee; they that go down into the pit do not hope for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
PSALM 67
Ps 67:1-7. A prayer that, by God's blessing on His people, His salvation and praise may be extended over the earth.
1. cause his face to shine—show us favor (Nu 6:24, 25; Ps 31:16).
2. thy way—of gracious dealing (Isa 55:8), as explained by—
saving health—or literally, "salvation."
3-5. Thanks will be rendered for the blessings of His wise and holy government (compare Isa 2:3, 4; 11:4).
6, 7. The blessings of a fruitful harvest are mentioned as types of greater and spiritual blessings, under which all nations shall fear and love God.
