Psalms 67:1-2

Blessed to Make God's Saving Way Known Among All Nations

Psalm 67 moves from a blessing petition, to the purpose of worldwide knowledge of God's salvation, to repeated calls for the peoples to praise and rejoice, to harvest blessing, and finally to the fear of God reaching the ends of the earth.
