About this chapterA brief, beautiful prayer for blessing with a purpose beyond the one who prays. Israel asks God to be gracious and let his face shine on them, echoing the priestly blessing, so that his ways would be known across the earth and his saving power among every nation. A twice-repeated refrain invites all peoples to praise him. The nations are pictured glad and singing because God judges fairly and guides them, and the land yields its harvest.
