Linda wrote this beautiful version of Psalm 67 as a cry to the Lord to be gracious and to show great mercy – whether on individuals or on nations.
It is a superb piece, and of particular help when we are seeking to pray for situations where there is an enormous need for God to pour out His mercy.
Linda originally wrote it in French, but we are including her English version of it here too – as well as an instrumental version, so that we can follow the Spirit’s leading to pray as and where He leads us.
Instrumental Version
May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face shine on us—
2 so that your ways may be known on earth,
your salvation among all nations.
3 May the peoples praise you, God;
may all the peoples praise you.
4 May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you rule the peoples with equity
and guide the nations of the earth.
5 May the peoples praise you, God;
may all the peoples praise you.
6 The land yields its harvest;
God, our God, blesses us.
7 May God bless us still,
so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.
And here is the full psalm in the Louis Segond version.
Que Dieu ait pitié de nous et qu’il nous bénisse, Qu’il fasse luire sur nous sa face, -Pause.
2 Afin que l’on connaisse sur la terre ta voie, Et parmi toutes les nations ton salut!
3 Les peuples te louent, ô Dieu! Tous les peuples te louent.
4 Les nations se réjouissent et sont dans l’allégresse;
Car tu juges les peuples avec droiture, Et tu conduis les nations sur la terre. -Pause.
5 Les peuples te louent, ô Dieu! Tous les peuples te louent.
6 La terre donne ses produits; Dieu, notre Dieu, nous bénit.
7 Dieu, nous bénit, et toutes les extrémités de la terre le craignent.
