67:6-7 God Will Bless Us, So that All Nations May Fear Him. The final stanza repeats the idea of blessing from the first, and indicates one particular kind of blessing for which the people should give thanks: the earth has yielded its increase. To fear God means to hold him and his word in reverence, a disposition of true faith (e.g., 5:7; 15:4; 25:12). For the ends of the earth turning to the Lord (esp. in the messianic age), cf. 2:8; 22:27; 72:8 (Zech. 9:10); Isa. 45:22; 52:10; Jer. 16:19.
