God lays out a vision for His blessing and its intended scope. As we explore the scriptures, Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. The “yielding” the psalmist describes in verse 6 appears in the “completed” or “past” tense the only past tense in the entire psalm. It’s as if the psalmist is saying, “Look around! He’s already done it! See His blessing everywhere.” In the middle of the psalm we find examples of God’s blessing: His guidance and His just and righteous rule. Israel could rest in the assurance that God controls the nations and brings justice in international affairs. We read, “May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the peoples justly and guide the nations of the earth.” That word “glad” is used for the joy of a wedding. Therefore we must know that God blesses His people so that the peoples might bless Him
