O God, be gracious and bless us

O God, be gracious and bless us
and let your face shed its light upon us.
So will your ways be known upon earth
and all nations learn your saving help.

Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you.

Let the nations be glad and exult
for you rule the world with justice.
With fairness you rule the peoples,
you guide the nations on earth.

Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you.

The earth has yielded its fruit 
for God, our God, has blessed us.
May God still give us his blessing 
till the ends of the earth revere him.

~Psalm 67

and bring forth a harvest of justice.
