In biblical context, "ways" often refers to God's laws, commandments, and the manner in which He governs the world. The psalmist expresses a longing for divine principles to be acknowledged universally, reflecting the mission of Israel to be a light to the nations (<a href="/isaiah/42-6.htm">Isaiah 42:6</a>). Historically, Israel was situated at a crossroads of ancient civilizations, which provided a strategic position for spreading knowledge of God. This phrase also anticipates the Great Commission (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19-20</a>), where Jesus commands His followers to make disciples of all nations, teaching them to observe His commandments.<p><b>Your salvation among all nations</b><br>The term "salvation" here refers to deliverance and redemption, which in the Old Testament context often involved physical deliverance from enemies or oppression. However, it also points to the spiritual salvation that would be fully realized in the New Testament through Jesus Christ. The inclusion of "all nations" underscores the universal scope of God's redemptive plan, which is a recurring theme throughout Scripture (<a href="/genesis/12-3.htm">Genesis 12:3</a>, <a href="/revelation/7-9.htm">Revelation 7:9</a>). This phrase prophetically points to the coming of the Messiah, who would bring salvation not only to Israel but to the entire world, fulfilling God's promise to Abraham that all peoples on earth would be blessed through him. The psalmist's vision aligns with the New Testament revelation of Christ as the Savior of all humanity, breaking down the barriers between Jew and Gentile (<a href="/ephesians/2-14.htm">Ephesians 2:14-16</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/67.htm">Psalm 67</a>, traditionally attributed to King David, who is expressing a desire for God's ways and salvation to be known universally.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/e/earth.htm">Earth</a></b><br>Represents the entirety of the world, emphasizing the global scope of God's influence and the reach of His salvation.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/n/nations.htm">Nations</a></b><br>Refers to all peoples and ethnic groups, highlighting the inclusivity of God's message and salvation.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_universal_plan.htm">God's Universal Plan</a></b><br>God's desire is for His ways and salvation to be known by all people, not limited to a specific group or nation.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/role_of_believers.htm">Role of Believers</a></b><br>As followers of Christ, we are called to participate in making God's ways known, aligning with the Great Commission.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/prayer_for_the_nations.htm">Prayer for the Nations</a></b><br>We should pray for the spread of the Gospel and for all nations to come to know God's salvation.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/cultural_sensitivity.htm">Cultural Sensitivity</a></b><br>In sharing the Gospel, we must be sensitive to different cultures and contexts, ensuring that the message of salvation is communicated effectively.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/living_as_witnesses.htm">Living as Witnesses</a></b><br>Our lives should reflect God's ways, serving as a testimony to His salvation and drawing others to Him.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_67.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 67</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_history_support_psalm_67_2's_claim.htm">In Psalm 67:2, does history or archaeology support the claim that all nations will know God’s ways through Israel’s blessings? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_psalm_67_at_odds_with_conditional_blessings.htm">Does Psalm 67 conflict with other biblical texts that portray God's blessings as conditional on obedience, rather than simply bestowed on anyone who prays?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_psalm_67_1's_'face'_align_with_science.htm">In Psalm 67:1, how can we reconcile the idea of God’s “face” literally shining on people with scientific understanding of light and natural phenomena? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_did_all_nations_see_god's_salvation.htm">Psalm 98:2 asserts God's salvation is seen by all nations.
