1 For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm, a song. May God show us his favor and bless us. May he cause his face to shine with us.⁴⁠a (Selah) 2 Then those living on earth will know what you are like; all nations will know how you deliver your people. 3 Let the nations thank you, O God. Let all the nations thank you. 4 Let foreigners rejoice and celebrate. For you execute justice among the nations and govern the people living on earth. (Selah) 5 Let the nations thank you, O God. Let all the nations thank you. 6 The earth yields its crops. May God, our God, bless us. 7 May God bless us. Then all the ends of the earth will give him the honor he deserves.
