Psalms 67:1 «To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song. » God be merciful unto us, and bless us; [and] cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.
Ver. 1. God be merciful unto us] sc. In sending his Son, and calling his elect, both among Jews and Gentries, to the participation of that gift, John 4:10; that benefit, 1 Timothy 6:2 .
And bless us] Specially with all spiritual blessings in heavenly things in Christ Jesus, Ephesians 1:3 .
And cause his face to shine upon us] Giving us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, 2 Corinthians 4:6, who is the brightness (or glittering refulgency, απαυγασμα) of his Father's glory and the express image of his person, Hebrews 1:3, the dayspring from on high, Luke 1:78, Sereno suo vultu nos irradiet (Beza). In this prayer the psalmist plainly alludeth to that blessing pronounced upon the people by the high priest, Numbers 6:23,27, and showeth that all cometh from Christ, the true Aaron, the High Priest of the new covenant.
