Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
The verse stands within a prayer pleading for divine mercy and favor, so that God's way and saving power may be made known among all nations. When He blesses His people in answer to that prayer, the earth yields its increase. In that blessing He is claimed as belonging personally to His own people, even our own God. The nations are therefore called to praise Him and to rejoice, because He judges righteously and governs them. His blessing in turn leads the ends of the earth to revere Him.
