How and when to read
The song is part of the evening Rule, which is sung daily. The text is also read before Easter Sunday. If the problem is serious, along with the prayer they say “Our Father”, Psalm 90 and “Most Honorable Cherub”.
Before you pray, you need to understand the meaning of this song. A priest or independently studied Orthodox literature will help you understand it more deeply. You need to read the prayer by heart, thinking about every word.
Before starting the prayer ritual, you should cross yourself three times, and upon completion, bow.
History of writing
If we start by determining the authorship of the song, then the one who created it will be the Jewish king David. The events of the song are centered around one shrine, which is considered very important for the chosen people - the Ark of the Covenant. Psalm 67 is dedicated to the return of the Ark to Jerusalem. The fact is that previously the shrine was hidden in the house of the Gittite Abbedar. At one time, he accepted her into his home and protected her.
Over time, Avvedar could no longer keep the Ark. The time came when the Ark was destined to end up on top of Mount Zion. As they offered up the holy relic, the people of Israel sang the song of King David. It is believed that the transfer of the Ark of the Covenant was not a whim of the people.
It was taken there in order to preserve it for future generations, because constant wars depleted the land, and enemies could trample on the gift of God with their wicked hands. When creating the song, the emphasis was not on the poetic part, but rather the musical part. Therefore, Psalm 67 is considered a song.
What does it help with?
The prayer “May God rise again” is read to drive out the devil and protect himself from the intrigues he perpetrates. The psalm is addressed for the following problems:
- the machinations of enemies prevent things from getting better;
- overcome by fear or nightmares;

- those around them blaspheme and behave inappropriately.
Psalm 67 also helps to overcome alcohol, drug or other addiction. The power of sacred words is so powerful that it dispels darkness, driving Satan back to his halls.

Psalm 90 40 times. Creates a field of the strongest protection!
Psalm 90 40 times. Creates a field of the strongest protection!
From ancient times to the present day, believers know the 90th Psalm by heart. They read it in difficult situations and sometimes wear belts, amulet, pieces of fabric or leather with the text of this psalm.
I myself was one of the first to learn it when I came to a living faith and I use it every day in my prayer rule to protect myself, first of all, from negative thoughts, since I perfectly understand where they come from and how sinful feelings and actions can be born after thoughts.
I recommend that you also use this powerful instrument of our salvation and protection, thereby strengthening your faith in the power and love of our almighty God.

Interpretation of Psalm 67
Verse 1-4. King David remembers his great predecessor, namely the prophet Moses, who led the Jews out of Egypt. Being in solidarity with the prophet of the past, the king remains in repentance before the Lord and asks that His children always be under supervision. The ruler spoke these words when the powerful shrine of God’s chosen people ascended to Mount Zion closer to safety. The king himself in these verses uses a large number of metaphors and comparisons, where His enemies are like disappearing smoke.
Verse 5-7. David speaks to his people, telling of the great and all-encompassing love of God. He also encourages the Israelis to be in love with the Creator and to be grateful for his gifts.
Verse 8-11. From David's lips come words of praise to God for His miracles during the captivity of the Jews. The Israelis had no home, but the Lord did not forget about them and gave Palestine. In difficult times, He sent rain, providing a bountiful harvest for His people.
Verses 12-13. The victories of the Jewish people are innumerable. He always moved forward, despite the dangers, because the Lord did not leave him and all the affairs of the people were His affairs.
Verses 14-15. War and battles are a necessary measure of cleansing the world. After each clash, the Lord allows people to rest and arranges peace. At this time, people are not burdened with anything and can live in peace.
Verses 16-21. God is an intercessor and helper for everyone. Anyone in need who turns to him with prayer will be heard and saved.
Verse 22. David states that sinners make a conscious choice in favor of the power of the devil. They commit crimes themselves.
Verses 23-24. The king mentions the gifts of God, their abundance. But at the same time, in order to deserve them, you need to be grateful to the Lord and accept Him into your heart. With these speeches he also addresses all the pagan peoples around the kingdom of Judah in order to bring His faith into their hearts.
Verses 35-36. In these final verses, David confirms the thoughts that the Most High is great and His word is Law.
Text of the Psalm “Let God rise again”
May God rise again, and may His enemies be scattered, and may those who hate Him flee from His presence. Like smoke disappears, let them disappear; As wax melts in the presence of fire, so let demons perish on behalf of those who love God and sign the sign of the cross, and say in joy: Rejoice, Most Honest and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, driving away and the demons have the power upon you of our Lord Jesus Christ, who descended into hell and trampled underfoot the power the devil, and who gave us Your Honest Cross to drive away every adversary. Oh, Most Honest and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord! Help me with the Holy Virgin Mary and with all the saints forever. Amen.

God in the Psalms
According to the Psalter, God is the Creator of everything that exists on Earth, the creator of the visible and the invisible. He is the one who listens, forgives, gets angry, loves, repents, regrets and constantly watches over his creation. Any of his judgments are justice, truth, mercy itself, not by merit, but by grace. God punishes sins, but forgives a sincerely repentant sinner. According to the Psalter, God is always close to man and the people, He always knows all thoughts, there is no way to hide from Him, since He is omnipresent.
The holiness of God has a special place in the psalms. She is mysterious, frightening, all-encompassing, and everyone has an almost superstitious fear of her. She is God's essence. Moreover, God sanctifies everything he chooses. This God's holiness demands the same from people, obliges them to distance themselves from sin.
All psalms and prayers are built on faith in the holiness of God. This is especially evident in psalms with messianic themes. According to various researchers, there are 7, 9 or 20 such psalms. These numbers vary due to the fact that the psalms are essentially united and complement each other, and the ways of presenting the messianic theme differ.
The psalms also symbolically describe the suffering of the Lord on the cross and His rejection by the Israelis.
Authors of the Psalms
The authorship of the psalms is still hotly debated among theologians and biblical scholars. Of course, the main one is King David, besides him there are Asaph, the sons of Korah, Solomon, Etham, Heman and others. In Judaism and early Christianity, all psalms were attributed to the pen of King David. There may be an explanation for this - it was under David that the psalter was finally collected and edited. Although some psalms do not have the slightest hint of anyone’s authorship.
It is believed that even if there is an inscription “Psalm of David,” this is not a direct indication of his authorship. Modern Jewish theologians claim that most of the psalms were written by authors who lived much later than David, and their names remain unknown. The problem of establishing authorship is inseparably intertwined with a similar problem of dating the psalms. According to liberal theories, David and his contemporaries only initiated the writing and singing of psalms.

Due to numerous requests from readers, we have prepared an “Orthodox Calendar” application for smartphones. Every morning you will receive information about the current day: holidays, fasts, days of remembrance, prayers, parables. Download for free: Orthodox Calendar 2021 (available on Android)
Not everyone remembers this, but psalms are not least hymns for liturgical performance. Even in the texts of many psalms there is a direct indication that they should be used specifically for the liturgy. On some psalms there are specific inscriptions on the days of the week or holidays.
But the music that accompanied the performance of psalms in ancient times has already been lost irretrievably. In addition, the inscriptions to the psalms that relate to music are very difficult to interpret. This happened because the apogee of the development of musical art occurred during the period of the first temple. When this temple was destroyed, music never returned to its previous level, just as some musical instruments were not used. When the Greek version of the Bible was created, even the very meaning of these musical instruments was unknown to the translators.
Musical instruments are also mentioned in the psalms themselves. It often happens that many psalms are sung to the tune of secular songs. People who have attended divine services for several times notice this immediately.
Interpretation for believers of the Christian text Psalm 67
no comments
Christian Psalm 67 has a sublimely solemn tone, characteristic of songs written in honor of some significant historical event. In this psalm, according to researchers and interpreters, we are talking about the recapture of Jerusalem from the Jebusites - the most important step towards the unification of the Kingdom of Israel. This event occurred during the reign of the prophet David, to whom the authorship of the psalm is attributed. The text of Orthodox Psalm 67, in addition, recalls a number of Old Testament events, as well as various mercies given by God to the Jewish people over thousands of years.
Text of Psalm 67: help for women in labor
A detailed interpretation of Psalm 67 is very difficult due to the large number of figurative expressions used in it, the laconicism of the text, and the frequent jumping from one topic to another. However, despite the fact that Psalm 67 is considered one of the most difficult to explain, this does not diminish its historical and spiritual value, since before the conquest by David it was considered an impregnable stronghold, and this once again gave the Jewish people confidence that God was on their side. In Orthodoxy, reading, listening online and watching videos with the text of Psalm 67 is recommended in cases of difficult childbirth in order to alleviate the suffering of the woman in labor.

To the head of the choir. Psalm of David. Song.
May God arise, and may His enemies be scattered, and may those who hate Him flee from His presence. As smoke dissipates, You scatter them; As wax melts in the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous rejoice, let them rejoice before God and triumph in joy. Sing to our God, sing to His name, exalt Him who walks in heaven; His name is Lord, and rejoice in His presence. God is the Father of the orphans and the judge of widows in His holy habitation. God brings the lonely into the house, frees the prisoners from their shackles, and the rebellious remain in the sultry desert. God! When You went out before Your people, when You walked in the wilderness, the earth shook, even the heavens melted at the presence of God, and this Sinai - at the presence of God, the God of Israel. You, O God, poured abundant rain on Your inheritance, and when it was exhausted from labor, You strengthened it. Your people dwelt there; According to Your goodness, O God, You prepared what was necessary for the poor. The Lord will give his word: there are a great number of heralds. Kings of armies flee and flee, but she who sits at home divides the spoil. Having settled down in your inheritance, you became like a dove, whose wings are covered with silver, and whose feathers are pure gold: when the Almighty scattered the kings on this land, it turned white like the snow on Selmon. The Mountain of God is Mount Bashan! high mountain - Mount Vasanskaya! Why do you look enviously, O high mountains, at the mountain on which God is pleased to dwell and the Lord will dwell forever? There are thousands of thousands of chariots of God; the Lord is among them at Sinai in the sanctuary. You ascended on high, took captivity captive, and accepted gifts for men, so that even those who resist could dwell with the Lord God. Blessed be the Lord every day. God puts burdens on us, but He also saves us. God for us is God for salvation; in the power of the Lord Almighty are the gates of death. But God will crush the head of His enemies, the hairy crown of one stubborn in his iniquities. The Lord said: I will bring you back from Bashan, I will bring you out of the depths of the sea, so that you may plunge your foot, like your dogs’ tongue, into the blood of your enemies. We saw Your procession, O God, the procession of my God, my King in the shrine: in front were singers, behind playing on instruments, in the middle were maidens with tympans: “In your assemblies, bless the Lord God, you are of the seed of Israel!” There Benjamin the Younger is their prince; the princes of Judah are their rulers, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali. Your God has ordained strength for you. Confirm, O God, what You have done for us! For the sake of Your temple in Jerusalem, kings will bring You gifts. Tame the beast in the reeds, the herd of oxen among the bullocks of the nations boasting of ingots of silver; scatter the nations who desire war. The nobles will come from Egypt; Ethiopia will stretch out her hands to God. Kingdoms of the earth! sing to God, sing praises to the Lord, who walks in the heavens of heavens from all eternity. Behold, He gives His voice the voice of power. Give glory to God! His greatness is above Israel, and His power is in the clouds. Thou art terrible, O God, in Thy sanctuary. The God of Israel - He gives strength and strength to His people. Blessed be God!
Orthodox Psalter, text of Psalm 67 in Church Slavonic language
May God rise again, and may his enemies be scattered, and may those who hate him flee from his face. Like smoke disappears, let them disappear; As wax melts in the presence of fire, so let sinners perish in the presence of God; and let the righteous rejoice, let them rejoice before God, let them enjoy themselves in joy. Sing to God, sing to his name; make a way for him who ascended to the west, the Lord is his name; and rejoice before him. May the fathers of the orphans and the judges of widows be dismayed at his face; God is in his holy place. God brings like-minded people into the house, harassing those who are bound by courage, and those who are also grieving and living in tombs. God, you never went before your people, you never passed by in the desert, the earth shook, for the heavens were destroyed from the presence of the God of Sin, from the presence of the God of Israel. The rain is free to separate, O God, from your inheritance, and is exhausted, but you have done this. Your animal lives on it; You have prepared this with your goodness for the poor, O God. The Lord will give to those who preach the good news with much power; the king of the beloved's powers, to share the home's self-interest with the beauty of the house. If you sleep in the middle of the border, the krill of the dove is covered with silver, and its interstices are in the glitter of gold; The heavenly kings will always separate from her and snow in Selmon. Mountain of God, fat mountain, strewn mountain, fat mountain. What do you feel, the strewn mountains? the mountain where God willed to live in it; for the Lord will dwell to the end. The chariot of God is so great that it is a thousand gobblers; The Lord is in them in Sinai in the holy place. You ascended on high, you took captivity captive; You have accepted giving among men, for those who do not repent before they can dwell. Blessed be the Lord God, blessed be the Lord day by day; God will hasten our salvation. Our God is the God who saves; and the Lord's, the Lord's departure from death. Otherwise, God will crush the heads of his enemies, the top of the powers that pass away in their sins. The Lord speaks; I will convert from Bashan, I will convert in the depths of the sea; For let your foot be dipped in blood, and your tongue be kept from your enemy from him. I saw your procession, O God, the procession of my God the king, who is holy. Preceding the princes near the singers, in the midst of the tympanic virgins. In the churches bless God, the Lord from the fountain of Israel. There the youngest Benjamin is in horror, the princes of Jud are their rulers, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali. Commandment, O God, by your power; Strengthen, O God, what you have done in us. From your temple in Jerusalem they will bring you royal gifts. Forbid the reed beast; a host of youths among the youths of men, who are already tempted by silver; waste the tongues of those who want to curse. Prayer books will come from Egypt; Ethiopia will advance her hand to God. Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God, sing to the Lord, who has ascended to heaven in the east; behold, he will give his voice a voice of power. Give glory to God; His noise is upon Israel, and his strength is upon the clouds. God is marvelous in His saints; The God of Israel will give strength and power to his people. Blessed be God.
