Psalms 67

Verse 2

That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.

Thy way — The way of truth, or the true religion; the same which in the next clause is called his saving health, and both together signify the way of salvation; deal so graciously with thy people, that thereby the Gentile-world may at last be allured to join with them.

Verse 4

O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. /*Selah*/.

Judge — Rule them.

Govern — Heb. lead; gently, as a shepherd doth his sheep; and not rule them with rigour, as other lords had done.

Verse 6

Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

Them — When the people of the earth shall be converted to God, God will cause it to yield them abundance of all sorts of fruits. Under which one blessing, all other blessings both temporal and spiritual are comprehended.

Our own — He who is Israel’s God in a peculiar manner.
