Psalm 67 - A Prayer for the Nations

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.

Have you ever prayed through a psalm? Psalm 67 is overflowing with God's purpose for the nations. Notice the "blessed to be a blessing" concept in the first verse. I've be praying through this psalm today and thought that I share it with you guys.

  1. That is a thought worth incorperating into my prayer time. How many of the Psalms would lend to this plan? Most, probably. Ps 67 is a great Psalm of Perspective. Thanks for sharing the idea and the specific Psalm.
