Read a Psalm: Psalm 67


Psalm 67

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.

May God be gracious to us and bless us
    and make his face shine upon us, Selah
that your ways may be known on earth,
    your salvation among all nations.
May the peoples praise you, O God;
    may all the peoples praise you. 
May the nations be glad and sing for joy, 
    for you rule the peoples justly 
    and guide the nations of the earth. Selah
May the peoples praise you, O God;
    may all the peoples praise you.
Then the land will yield its harvest, 
    and God, our God, will bless us. 
God will bless us,
    and all the ends of the earth will fear him.

Outline
1-2 As God favor comes so shall His ways and salvation be known 
3-5 Let all people praise God as He reigns upon us
6-7 God's blessing should cause us to revere God

Main point:
God's favor upon us should lead us to worship and be glad in God!

Response:
Lord, we praise you for you have looked upon us with favor! Amen.
