Psalm 67
This Psalm is not attributed to any author, but originally it was a song.
In the book of Numbers, God teaches the priests a blessing to say to the people. Theologians call it the Aaronic blessing as Aaron was the first high priest.
The blessing goes "The LORD bless you and keep you, the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you. The LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace" (Numbers 6:23-26)
This pslam stars with "May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us"
In the Psalm they want God's blessing and grace are to demonstrate God's ways and his salvation among all nations.
Again in this psalm is an open invitation for anybody and everybody to praise God. As well as a recognition that God is just and judges all nations and all people with equity.
The land yields its harvest; God, our God, blesses us.
May God bless us still so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.
