To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song.

1God be merciful unto us, and bless us;

And cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.

2That thy way may be known upon earth,

Thy saving health among all nations.

3Let the people praise thee, O God;

Let all the people praise thee.

4O let the nations be glad and sing for joy:

For thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

5Let the people praise thee, O God;

Let all the people praise thee.

6Then shall the earth yield her increase;

And God, even our own God, shall bless us.

7God shall bless us;

And all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
