Restore us O God; 
let your face shine, 
that we may be saved 
(Psalm 80:2).

Morning

Invitatory Psalm 67

Let God grant us grace and bless us;

let God make his face shine on us, Selah

so that your way becomes known on earth,

so that your salvation becomes known

   among all the nations.

Let the people thank you, God!

Let all the people thank you!

Let the people celebrate

and shout with joy

because you judge the nations fairly

and guide all nations on the earth. Selah

Let the people thank you, God!

Let all the people thank you!

The earth has yielded its harvest.

God blesses us—our God blesses us!

Let God continue to bless us;

let the far ends of the earth honor him.
