What does Psalm 67:5 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Psalms 67:5
Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people
praise
thee.] (See Gill on Psalms
67:3). This is repeated from that preceding verse to show
the earnest desire of the church that it might be so; or that
there might be an occasion for it; the ardour of her mind, and
fervency of her petitions, and how much she was solicitous for
the praise and glory of God; or to declare the certainty of it,
she most strongly believing that so it would be; as the Targum,
"the people shall confess" because of a new favour to be enjoyed,
mentioned in ( Psalms 67:6 ) .
