1May God be merciful to us, bless us,and cause his face to shine on us.2That your way may be known on earth,and your salvation among all nations,3let the peoples praise you, God.Let all the peoples praise you.4Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy,for you will judge the peoples with equity,and govern the nations on earth.5Let the peoples praise you, God.Let all the peoples praise you.6The earth has yielded its increase.God, even our own God, will bless us.7God will bless us.All the ends of the earth shall fear him.
