PSALM 67 MAKE YOUR FACE SHINE UPON US
May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face to shine upon us, Selah

your saving power among all nations.
3 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you!
4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you judge the peoples with equity
and guide the nations upon earth. Selah
5 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you!
6 The earth has yielded its increase;
God, our God, shall bless us.
7 God shall bless us;
let all the ends of the earth fear him! – Psalm 67:1-7

BLESS US AND MAKE YOUR FACE SHINE ON US! by ILMA
May the Lord grant us grace and blessings
May He approve and shine his face on his children
The benediction of the Lord is crucial to all his people
May we never forget to ask and pray for such blessings
Let all the people of God praise their Lord and Master
May they abound in a heart that seeks their Maker
Lord, give us your approval so we can shine your light
Without your grace and mercy, we will never have life
Bless us Lord and make your face shine on all your people
We need your sanctification so we can spread the gospel
Only by blessing us will we be able to fulfill your calling
Grant us your light so we can bring it to all the nations.

REFLECTION
• Why did the psalmist ask God for blessing and to make his face shine upon His people?
• What was the result if God shone his face on them in verses 6-7?
