Psalm 67:1 ¶ «To the chief
Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song.» 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 O 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.
Here is a Psalm of pure praise from an agricultural people we can
use in our personal prayers if we memorize it. I also can see this as a prophecy
of Christ’s millennial reign on earth.
The first part of this Psalm seems a lot like the High Priest’s
form of blessing from Numbers 6.
Numbers 6:22 ¶ And the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying, 23 Speak unto
Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of
Israel, saying unto them, 24 The LORD
bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD
make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee,
and give thee peace. 27 And they shall
put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
God is the saving health of the nations of the earth in the Lord Jesus
Christ.
Psalm 98:2 The LORD hath
made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight
of the heathen. 3 He hath remembered his
mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have
seen the salvation of our God.
Praise God o people and sing for joy as God’s government is just
and fair and good.
Psalm 97:1 ¶ The LORD
reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
Psalm 138:4 All the kings
of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth. 5
Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the
LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
Can you see the millennial reign of Christ in this Psalm?
Psalm 22:27 All the ends of
the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the
nations shall worship before thee.
