Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 67:1-2
1. God’s grace to His people 67:1-2The psalmist began by repeating part of Israel’s priestly blessing (cf. Numbers 6:24-26) to request God’s favor on His people. Causing one’s face to shine on others means smiling on them with favor and approval (cf. Psalms 4:6). The writer requested God’s blessing on Israel so that other nations would learn of His favor, turn to Him in faith, and experience His salvation themselves (v.2). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 67:1-7
Psalms 67This is another song that exhorts the nations to praise God that an unknown psalmist penned. Its theme is similar to that of Psalms 66."If a psalm was ever written round the promises to Abraham, that he would be both blessed and made a blessing, it could well have been such as this. The song begins at home, and returns to pause there a moment before the end; but its thought always flies to the distant peoples and to what awaits them when the blessing that has reached ’us’ reaches all."... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 67:3-4
God’s people should praise Him because He rules justly. Because He does rule justly all nations should look to Him for guidance."The capricious kindliness which makes no moral judgments is as alien to biblical thought as the tyranny that rules without love." [Note: Kidner, p. 237.] read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 67:1-7
This short and joyful Ps. is in the first place a harvest thanksgiving (Psalms 67:6), perhaps at the Feast of Tabernacles. God’s goodness to Israel reveals Him also to the nations (Psalms 67:2), and calls forth their praise (Psalms 67:3, Psalms 67:5), their submission (Psalms 67:4), and their worship (Psalms 67:7). There is a symmetrical parallelism on either side of the middle verse, Psalms 67:5 corresponding to Psalms 67:3, and Psalms 67:6-7 to Psalms 67:1, Psalms 67:2.1. This v. is partly... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 67:2
(2) Saving health.—The Hebrew word is that generally rendered “salvation,” but often better rendered “help,” or “deliverance.” By “health” the translators meant “healing power,” as in Shakespeare, King John, Act V., Scene 2:—“For the health and physick of our right.” read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 67:2
Psalms 67:2. That thy way may be known— That is, that all the world may be sensible of the truth of the Jewish religion; and expect no blessing, but from the supreme God of the Jews. Thy saving health, or salvation, refers to the glad tidings of salvation through Christ. The Syriac version, in its preface to this psalm, says, "It gives us a prophesy of the calling of the Gentiles, and the preaching of the Apostles." Theodoret thinks the same. read more
