A prayer for the universal establishment of God's kingdom. (To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song.)

¹⁾God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah;

²⁾That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.

³⁾Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

⁴⁾Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy; for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

⁵⁾Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

⁶⁾Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

⁷⁾God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
