So I decided to read Psalm 67 this morning after all.
God be merciful unto us,
and bless us;
and cause his face to shine upon us;
Selah.Let the people praise thee, O God;
let all the people praise thee.Then shall the earth yield her increase;
and God,
even our own God,
shall bless us.
What am I supposed to make of that?
This morning I go to (and through) Psalm 66.
O bless our God, ye people,
and make the voice of his praise to be heard:Which holdeth our soul in life,
and suffereth not our feet to be moved.For thou, O God, hast proved us:
thou hast tried us,
as silver is tried.…
I will pay thee my vows,Which my lips have uttered,
and my mouth hath spoken,
when I was in trouble.Come and hear,
all ye that fear God,
and I will declare
what he hath done for my soul.Blessed be God,
which hath not turned away my prayer,
nor his mercy from me.
