A psalm for the choir director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments
1 God, act mercifully toward us and bless us;
act kindly/favorably toward us [IDI],
(Think about that!)
2 in order that everyone in the world may know what you want them to do,
and the people of all nations may know that you have the power to save them.
3 God, I desire that all people-groups will praise you;
I want them all to praise you!
4 I desire that the people of all nations will be glad and sing joyfully,
because you judge the people-groups equally/justly,
and you guide all the nations in the world.
(Think about that!)
5 God, I desire that the people-groups will praise you;
I want them all to praise you!
6 Good crops have grown on our land;
God, our God, has blessed us.
7 And because God has blessed us,
I desire that all people everywhere [MTY] on the earth will have an awesome respect for him.
