Psalms 67:5-7 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

-When all the peoples praise God, then the earth itself shall be delivered from the curse.

Verse 6. Then shall the earth yield her increase - literally, 'hath yielded:' the prophetical preterite. The future is to the eye of inspiration as sure as the already past. The blessing in Leviticus 26:4 shall then be realized: primarily referring to thy Holy Land; ultimately to the whole earth. So also Psalms 65:5; Psalms 65:9-13.

And God, even our own God, shall bless us. Israel own God, and the God of the Church, shall go on blessing us.

Verse 7. God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him - (Psalms 22:27.) The conclusion sums up the psalm: God's blessing on the literal and the spiritual Israel shall he the forerunner of the conversion of the world.
