F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 67:1-7

“Let All the Peoples Praise Thee” Psalms 66:16-20 ; Psalms 67:1-7 Come and hear, Psalms 66:16-20 The psalm began with Come and see, Psalms 66:5 . Compare Mark 5:19-20 ; John 4:29 . It will be one of the employments of heaven to go from group to group to tell what God has done for us. But each hearer will have a tale as wonderful as ours. We must praise without stint, and pray with pure and unselfish motives. From such prayers God will not turn away. Psalms 67:1-7 , like Psalms 65:1-13 ,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 67:1-7

In this psalm there is a fine merging of prayer and praise. Prayer is its dominant note. Moreover, it is prayer on the highest level. It asks for personal blessing, but its deepest passion is that all peoples may be blessed and led to praise. If it was a harvest festival song, as the first part of verse Psa 67:6 would seem to indicate, then the local occasion is graciously submerged in a far wider outlook. The singer, even more remarkably than in the preceding psalm, recognizes the true... read more

Nor do we desire this mercy only for our comfort, but also for the advancement of thy glory, and the propagation of the true religion among all nations, who by the contemplation of thy gracious and wonderful works to and for us will be induced to love and serve thee, and to list themselves among thy people. By God’s way he understands, either, 1. That way wherein God walks; or the manner of his dealing with his people: How gracious and bountiful a Master thou art to all thy servants! Or rather,... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 67:3

Psalms 67:3 Time begins and time ends with praise; and though during its course there may seem to be many an interval of dreary silence, yet God never wants praise. He inhabiteth the praises of eternity, and even here on earth praise waiteth for Him among His people. The whole of the course of God's saints is full of praise. I. And is there not ample reason? What though sin seem to have marred the Creator's glorious work? Is it not a glorious work still? The heavens, with all their wonders of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 67:1-7

Psalms 67:1-7 Psalms 67:1-7 :God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us ( Psalms 67:1 );Three things: be merciful unto us, bless us, cause His face to shine upon us. Now there are some people that would find fault with this prayer. "I never like to ask God for anything personal." That's so idealistic it stinks. I want God to bless me. I want God to be merciful unto me. And I want God's face to shine upon my life. But, the motive behind it,That thy way may be... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 67:1-7

Title. In the LXX this is called a hymn, and is inscribed to David. Psalms 67:6 . God, the Elohim, even our own God, the Messiah, shall bless us; so the ancients interpret these words. REFLECTIONS. This psalm opens with prayer, that God would be merciful to Israel, and bless them by a total reverse of their former afflictions and wars; for this song was uttered to the Lord while grateful sentiments of victory overflowed the soul of the prophet. And while under those gracious... read more
