Psalm 67: Let All the Peoples Praise You!

$0.00

This setting of Psalm 67 is in what I’ve dubbed a “modern medieval” style–stately but with a strong rhythmic spine. One of the interesting features of the song is that the verse mirrors the chorus, but one step up. This modulatory sleight of hand makes each return of the chorus sound inevitable but surprising.

Let all the peoples praise you!
Let all the peoples praise!
Let all the peoples praise you!
Let all the peoples praise you, O God!
Let all the peoples praise you!

1. May God grant us his blessing and grace.
May we live in the light of his face.
May your ways be known throughout the earth,
Your salvation in all of the world.
Let all the peoples praise!

Let all the peoples praise you!…

2. Let all the nations burst into song,
all the people thunder their joy.
May your righteousness be their theme,
and your justice the song that they sing.

Let all the peoples praise you!…

3. The earth bursts forth in flower and fruit,
as our God makes all things new.
May all creation know God’s grace,
’til the whole world revere God’s name.

Let all the peoples praise you!…
