The repentant Jew the way of blessing for the world
Psalm 67 closes this short series by looking for the blessing of
the remnant, not only as the righteous and merciful answer to
their cry, but as the way of spreading the knowledge of God's ways
to all nations. "God be merciful to us, that thy way may be known
upon earth." Thus all the peoples will praise God, and the earth
be judged and governed righteously. The earth will yield her
increase, God's blessing will be upon it, and He will, as the own
God of the godly remnant that have trusted in Him, bless them. The
result is summed up in the last verse — "God shall bless us, and all
the ends of the earth shall fear him." For the repentant Jew is
the way of blessing, life from the dead for the world.
