Verse one sounds like the familiar blessing:
"God be gracious to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us..."
In fact, it's part of the priestly blessing given in Numbers 6.
But the Psalm continues on, giving a further goal for the blessing - "that Your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among all nations."
It's not simply a request to be blessed - it is a request that that blessing also bless others.
Nice.
Lord, make me a blessing!
