Psalm 67

Summary: Psalm 67 is a prayer for the fulfillment of the promise that God made to Abraham way back in Genesis 12:1-3, “I will bless you…and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” God’s plan with Israel from the very beginning was to use her to bring all the nations of the world to himself. Paul explains in Galatians 3 that God’s word to Abraham was really a proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ, through whom God intended to fulfill this promise. Our mission as God’s people is to share the joy of Jesus Christ with the nations (abroad and in our own neighbourhoods) that they might join us in forever praising our God.
