Psalms67:2

2 That thy way may be known upon earth , thy saving health among all nations.

Nor do we desire this Mercy onely for our Comfort, but also for the Advancement of thy Glory, and the Propagation of the true Religion among all Nations, who by the Contemplation of thy Gracious and wonderful Works, to and for us, will be induced to Love and serve thee, and to list themselves among thy People. By God's way he understands; Either, 1. That way wherein God Walks; or the manner of his dealing with his People, how Gracious and bountiful a Master thou art to all thy Servants. Or rather, 2. That way wherein God requires Men to walk, the way of Gods Precepts, the way of Truth, or the true Religion; as the way or ways of the Lord, are frequently taken, Gen. 18. 19. Iudg. 2. 22. Psal. 18. 21. and 119. 1. Act. 18. 25. 26, &c. the same which in the next Clause is called his Saving Health, Heb. Salvation, and both together signifie the way of Salvation, which the Psalmist desires, may be known among all Nations; which was expected by the Antient and ungodly Iews, at the coming of the Messias, who is called the way, Ioh. 14. 6. and God's Salvation, Luk. 2. 30. And so the Sence of the place is this, deal so graciously with thy People Israel, that thereby the Gentile-World may at last be allured to joyn themselves with them, and to embrace their Religion and Messias, according to that famous Prophecy, Zech. 8. 23. In those days ten Men—out of all—Nations—shall take hold of the skirt of—a Iew; saying, We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.
