The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 67:6

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Then shall the earth yield her increase; literally, the land hath given her increase—a quotation from Le Psalms 26:4, but probably in a metaphorical sense. An abundant spiritual harvest is seen by the psalmist as the result of the entrance of the Gentiles into the Church—an immense "increase" in the fruits of righteousness hitherto yielded—and this is spoken of as a result already obtained, through the perfect assurance of the writer that his prayers are granted and the result determined on in the Divine counsels.

And God, even our own God, shall bless us. "Our own God" must certainly be Jehovah; but the writer, in his broad universalism, will not use the expression.
