Psalm 67

1  God be gracious to us and bless us ♦︎
   and make his face to shine upon us,
2  That your way may be known upon earth, ♦︎
   your saving power among all nations.
3  Let the peoples praise you, O God; ♦︎
   let all the peoples praise you.
4  O let the nations rejoice and be glad, ♦︎
   for you will judge the peoples righteously
      and govern the nations upon earth.
5  Let the peoples praise you, O God; ♦︎
   let all the peoples praise you.
6  Then shall the earth bring forth her increase, ♦︎
   and God, our own God, will bless us.
7  God will bless us, ♦︎
   and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

Idols Cannot Save Babylon

²⁰ Assemble yourselves and come together,
   draw near, you survivors of the nations!
They have no knowledge—
   those who carry about their wooden idols,
and keep on praying to a god
   that cannot save.
²¹ Declare and present your case;
   let them take counsel together!
Who told this long ago?
   Who declared it of old?
Was it not I, the Lord?
   There is no other god besides me,
a righteous God and a Saviour;
   there is no one besides me.

²² Turn to me and be saved,
   all the ends of the earth!
   For I am God, and there is no other.
²³ By myself I have sworn,
   from my mouth has gone forth in righteousness
   a word that shall not return:
‘To me every knee shall bow,
   every tongue shall swear.’

²⁴ Only in the Lord, it shall be said of me,
   are righteousness and strength;
all who were incensed against him
   shall come to him and be ashamed.
²⁵ In the Lord all the offspring of Israel
   shall triumph and glory.

The Angels with the Seven Last Plagues

15Then I saw another portent in heaven, great and amazing: seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is ended.

2 And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. ³And they sing the song of Moses, the servant^* of God, and the song of the Lamb:
‘Great and amazing are your deeds,
   Lord God the Almighty!
Just and true are your ways,
   King of the nations!^*
4 Lord, who will not fear
   and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
   All nations will come
   and worship before you,
for your judgements have been revealed.’
