Psalms 67:7

God shall bless us. The psalm closes with an expression of the same longing for God’s blessing with which it opened. Through Israel all the world was to be blessed. In a knowledge of Israel’s God as the God of all nations the world would share in God’s blessing upon Israel. A full appreciation of this psalm is possible only with deep appreciation of God’s eternal purpose in calling Israel as His chosen people. It is essentially a missionary psalm, and should be precious to the church in its worldwide mission program.

That the psalm was intended for use in public worship seems evident from its reference to the Aaronic blessing, the use of the refrain, and the abundance of words common to public worship, such as “praise” and “bless.”
