詩篇 67:2-3 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 67:1-7

A missionary psalm. The psalmist prays "that the favour of God towards the chosen people may become visible, in order that, by its splendour, it may lead the heathen to the hope of sharing in it." The salvation of the heathen is here felt to depend upon the following conditions:— I. THE SALVATION OF THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE HIS CHURCH . ( Psalms 67:1 , Psalms 67:2 .) If it is God's "way" to save any, he must be able and willing to save all. And if his face... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 67:2

That thy way may he known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations. God is besought to bless his people Israel ( Psalms 67:1 ), in order that so his "way" may become known to all the earth, his "saving health," or his "salvation," to all (heathen) nations. The idea is not raised of any compulsory empire, but of one which will gradually extend itself, by winning the heathen over to it through the sight of Israel's blessedness (comp. Isaiah 49:18-23 ; Isaiah 60:3 , Isaiah 60:4 ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 67:2

That thy way may be known upon earth - The law of God; the principles and methods of the divine administration; the way in which God rules mankind and in which he bestows his blessings on people. The prayer is, that all the earth might be made acquainted with the methods in which God deals with his people, or confers favors on people.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 67:1-7

Psalms 66-67 God and the nationsIt appears that in Psalms 66:0 the people join in singing the first part of the song, and that the king sings the latter part alone. The song opens with a call to people worldwide to sing praise to God for a notable victory he has just won for Israel (66:1-4). Centuries earlier God brought Israel out of Egypt and led the people through the Red Sea, and the same God still rules in the affairs of nations (5-9). The worshippers acknowledge that in allowing them... read more
