Background to Psalms 67

Why listen to Christian music?
May God be gracious to us and bless us
    and make his face shine on us—
so that your ways may be known on earth,
    your salvation among all nations.
May the peoples praise you, God;
    may all the peoples praise you.
May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
    for you rule the peoples with equity
    and guide the nations of the earth.
May the peoples praise you, God;
    may all the peoples praise you.

The land yields its harvest;
    God, our God, blesses us.
May God bless us still,
    so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.

Andrew Maude from Wellington Central Baptist preaches on psalm 67. He talks about how this psalm shapes the lives of people in the New Testament, including Jesus. It is the Lord's prayer of the Old Testament. Listen to it here.
