Psalm 67 - May God Cause His Face to Shine on Us
Psalm 67 KJV Commentaries by Dennis Edwards
Psalm 67:1 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.Moses had taught the priests of Aaron the blessing of peace in Number 6:24-26. "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: the Lord make His face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: the Lord lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."
Psalm 80:3,7,&19 repeats three times a similar prayer. "Turn again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved." The author is feeling the lack of God's presence in his culture. He pleading with God for revival, that God's presence will once again be upon the nation for good.
Psalm 67:2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.
The author is praying for revival, that the nations may know the Lord. That they might know the way of salvation in Him.
Psalm 67:3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
We enter into God's presence with songs of praise and thanksgiving. Psalm 100:4, "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him and bless His name."
Psalm 67:4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
The nations of the world are waiting for a righteous government. A government that will judge the wicked and relieve the poor and oppressed. The nations would be glad and sing for joy if such a government came upon the earth.
That government is coming soon when Christ returns to take over the earth at the battle of Armageddon. However, before Christ's government will arise a false Messiah, the Antichrist will stand up. He shall cast the truth to the ground. He shall speak great words against the most High, and wear out the saints of the most High. He shall think to change times and laws. He shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace he shall destroy many. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes, (Jesus Christ at the battle of Armageddon), but he shall be broken without hand, Daniel 7:25, 8:12.24-25.
Psalm 67:5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
At last the people will be right to praise Jesus at that point. He will put and end to war for a thousand years. Satan will be bound in hell during that time. Revelation 20:2. Men will learn war no more. They shall beat their swords into pruning sheaves, and their spears into pruning-hooks, Isaiah 2:4.
Isaiah 11:9 "They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea."
Psalm 67:6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
We who were faithful will rule and reign with Christ for that thousand year Millennium period.
"And I saw of souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years," Revelation 20:4b.
Psalm 67:7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
"Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection; on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years," Revelation 20:6.
