Paraphrase of Psalm 67 -- The_Message, transl. by Eugene Peterson (1993)

God, mark us with grace and blessing!  Smile!
The whole country will see how you work,
all the godless nations see how you save.
God!  Let people thank and enjoy you!
Let all people thank and enjoy you!
Let all far-flung people become happy
and shout their happiness
because You judge them fair and square.
You tend the far-flung peoples.
God!  Let people thank and enjoy you!
Let all people thank and enjoy you!
Earth, display your exuberance!
You mark us with blessing, O God, our God.
You mark us with blessing, O God.
Earth's four corners -- honor Him!
