Jamieson, Fausset and Brown’s Commentary (1871)

Three Scottish scholars’ careful, compact notes on every verse: good on meaning, history and the original languages.

Verse 1

Psa 67:1-7. A prayer that, by God's blessing on His people, His salvation and praise may be extended over the earth.

1. cause his face to shine--show us favor (Nu 6:24, 25; Psa 31:16).

Verse 2

2. thy way--of gracious dealing (Is 55:8), as explained by--

saving health--or literally, "salvation."

Verses 3–5

3-5. Thanks will be rendered for the blessings of His wise and holy government (compare Is 2:3, 4; 11:4).

Verses 6–7

6-7. The blessings of a fruitful harvest are mentioned as types of greater and spiritual blessings, under which all nations shall fear and love God.
