Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 67:1-7

Psalms 67:1-2 I. There is strong connexion between health and happiness between the shining of the heart and the soundness of the body. The connexion is more seen in the prevention than in the cure of disease. When an illness has actually mastered us it is usually vain to say, 'Keep up your spirits'. The tendency of illness is to keep down the spirits. This is suggested in the book of Job. Why does the Satan of the drama, after overwhelming Job by poverty and bereavement, ask leave to afflict... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 67:1-7

Psalms 67:1-7THIS little psalm condenses the dominant thought of the two preceding into a series of aspirations after Israel’s blessing, and the consequent diffusion of the knowledge of God’s way among all lands. Like Psalms 65:1-13, it sees in abundant harvests a type and witness of God’s kindness. But, whereas in Psalms 65:1-13 the fields were covered with corn, here the increase has been gathered in. The two psalms may or may not be connected in date of composition as closely as these two... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 67:1-7

Psalms 67:0 The Fullest Blessing This brief Psalm does not permit any division. It is closely linked with the preceding one, telling us of the fullest blessings in store for Israel and the whole earth, when the new day has dawned and the King reigns. If this little Psalm in its prophetic message were understood it would end forever all postmillennial misconceptions as to the conversion of the world. Israel prays that the Lord may be gracious to them as He will in that coming day. As a result... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 67:1-7

Psalms 67:0 The first half dozen of these psalms form a group millennial and Messianic. The first is millennial. It is Israel who speaks; the psalm cannot be appreciated unless the word “us” in Psalms 67:1 is so applied. When God has mercy upon and blesses Israel in the latter days, His way and His saving health unto all nations (Psalms 67:2 ) will begin to be known. In other words, the present age is one of out-gathering, but the age to come (millennial) will be one of in-gathering. God is now... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 67:2

Observe how blessed are the effects which follow God's mercy, and the shining of his countenance upon the soul. The church of our elder brother, the Jew, is praying for the conversion of her younger sister, the Gentile church, and desiring that the salvation by Jesus may be as universal as it is great. And we may suppose, with great propriety, that this is spoken, partly in a way of prayer, and partly by way of prophecy of what will be accomplished. The Lord had said, that in him, that is in... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 67:2

Arise. These words were used when the Israelites decamped, (Numbers x. 35.; Calmet) and in the exorcisms to expel devils, who are here styled enemies. (St. Athanasius) --- The Jews were confounded when Christ arose again. (St. Augustine) --- The psalmist foretells the ruin of God's enemies, in the form of a prayer. (Worthington) read more
