Psalm 67
From The Book of Psalms in Metre (1644)
O God be mercifull to thine,
And bless us every one:
Command thy face on us to shine:
Thy way on earth make knowne.
Thy saving health to Nations all:
Let people praise thy Name:
O let them all in generall
Give praises to the same.
Let all the people far and wide,
Sing out with joy and mirth:
For thou shalt justly judge and guide
The Nations of the earth.
Let all that are of humane birth,
Praise thee, and not surcease:
Then shall the fat and fruitfull earth,
yield plentifull increase.
Yea God our God shall bless us then,
Great blessings God shall send:
He shall be fear'd of mortall men,
To earths remotest end.
