Psalm 67
1. A prayer for the enlargement of God's kingdom
3. to the joy of the people
6. and the increase of God's blessings














that Your ways may be known on earth
This phrase emphasizes the desire for God's ways to be recognized and understood globally. In biblical context, "ways" often refers to God's laws, commandments, and the manner in which He governs the world. The psalmist expresses a longing for divine principles to be acknowledged universally, reflecting the mission of Israel to be a light to the nations (Isaiah 42:6). Historically, Israel was situated at a crossroads of ancient civilizations, which provided a strategic position for spreading knowledge of God. This phrase also anticipates the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), where Jesus commands His followers to make disciples of all nations, teaching them to observe His commandments.

Your salvation among all nations
The term "salvation" here refers to deliverance and redemption, which in the Old Testament context often involved physical deliverance from enemies or oppression. However, it also points to the spiritual salvation that would be fully realized in the New Testament through Jesus Christ. The inclusion of "all nations" underscores the universal scope of God's redemptive plan, which is a recurring theme throughout Scripture (Genesis 12:3, Revelation 7:9). This phrase prophetically points to the coming of the Messiah, who would bring salvation not only to Israel but to the entire world, fulfilling God's promise to Abraham that all peoples on earth would be blessed through him. The psalmist's vision aligns with the New Testament revelation of Christ as the Savior of all humanity, breaking down the barriers between Jew and Gentile (Ephesians 2:14-16).

Teaching Points
God's Universal Plan
God's desire is for His ways and salvation to be known by all people, not limited to a specific group or nation.

Role of Believers
As followers of Christ, we are called to participate in making God's ways known, aligning with the Great Commission.

Prayer for the Nations
We should pray for the spread of the Gospel and for all nations to come to know God's salvation.

Cultural Sensitivity
In sharing the Gospel, we must be sensitive to different cultures and contexts, ensuring that the message of salvation is communicated effectively.

Living as Witnesses
Our lives should reflect God's ways, serving as a testimony to His salvation and drawing others to Him.(2) Saving health.--The Hebrew word is that generally rendered "salvation," but often better rendered "help," or "deliverance." By "health" the translators meant "healing power," as in Shakespeare, King John, Act V., Scene 2:--

"For the health and physick of our right."

Verse 2. - That thy way may he known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations. God is besought to bless his people Israel (ver. 1), in order that so his "way" may become known to all the earth, his "saving health," or his "salvation," to all (heathen) nations. The idea is not raised of any compulsory empire, but of one which will gradually extend itself, by winning the heathen over to it through the sight of Israel's blessedness (comp. Isaiah 49:18-23; Isaiah 60:3, 4).
