A Prayer of Blessing

For the music director, with stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.

1 May God be gracious to us and bless us.

May he cause his face to shine toward us,Selah

2 that your way may be known on the earth,

your salvation among all nations.

3 Let the peoples praise you, O God;

let all of the peoples praise you.

4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,

because you judge the peoples with equity

and guide the nations on the earth.Selah

5 Let the peoples praise you, O God;

let all the peoples praise you.

6 The earth has yielded its produce.

God, our God, will bless us.

7 God will bless us,

and all the ends of the earth will fear him.
