Psalms 67:1-7 open_in_new
This short and joyful Ps. is in the first place a harvest thanksgiving (Psalms 67:6), perhaps at the Feast of Tabernacles. God's goodness to Israel reveals Him also to the nations (Psalms 67:2), and calls forth their praise (Psalms 67:3; Psalms 67:5), their submission (Psalms 67:4), and their worship (Psalms 67:7). There is a symmetrical parallelism on either side of the middle verse, Psalms 67:5 corresponding to Psalms 67:3, and Psalms 67:6-7 to Psalms 67:1; Psalms 67:2.
