Commentary by A. R. FAUSSET
PSALM 67

Psa 67:1-7.

A prayer that, by God's blessing on His people, His salvation and praise may be extended over the earth.

1. cause his face to shine—show us favor (Num 6:24-25; Psa 31:16).

2. thy way—of gracious dealing (Isa 55:8), as explained by—

saving health—or literally, "salvation."

3-5. Thanks will be rendered for the blessings of His wise and holy government (compare Isa 2:3-4;11:4).

6, 7. The blessings of a fruitful harvest are mentioned as types of greater and spiritual blessings, under which all nations shall fear and love God.
