Psalms 67:6 Summary
This verse is saying that the earth is producing a lot of food and resources, and that's because God is blessing us. It's like when you plant a seed in the ground and it grows into a big, strong plant - that's God's blessing at work. Just like God provides for the earth, He also provides for us, and we can trust Him to take care of our needs (as seen in Matthew 6:26 and Philippians 4:19). We can show our gratitude for God's blessings by praising and thanking Him, just like the psalmist is doing in this verse.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 67:6
Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. -When all the peoples praise God, then the earth itself shall be delivered from the curse. Verse 6.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 67:6
When the people of the earth shall be converted to the worship and service of the true God, God will take away his curse from the earth, and cause it to yield them abundance of all sorts of fruits; under which one blessing promised under the law to them that obey God, all other blessings both temporal and spiritual are comprehended, as is very usual in the Old Testament. Our own God; he who is Israel’ s God in a peculiar manner, by that everlasting covenant which he hath made with us.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 67:6
Psalms 67:6 [Then] shall the earth yield her increase; [and] God, [even] our own God, shall bless us.Ver. 6. Then shall the earth yield her increase] Omnia opera nostra erunt prospera, All shall go well with us, and we shall abound with blessings of both lives. The gospel is a cornucopia; and they that receive it shall have all that heart can wish or need require; all creatures shall conspire to make them happy. The earth, which was cursed for man’ s sin, and hath lain bedridden, as it were, ever since, shall put forth her utmost strength for good people’ s use. God will hear the heavens, and the heavens shall hear the earth, &c., Hosea 2:21-22, when once men’ s hearts bear fruit to the Lord, Matthew 13:19; Matthew 13:23 Hebrews 6:7. Jerome interpreteth these words of the Virgin Mary bringing forth the child Jesus. Others thus, Then shall the earth bring forth innumerable servants of God.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 67:6
(6) Then shall the earth yield her increase.—It seems more in keeping with the expression of thanks to render here with the LXX. and Vulg., “The land hath yielded her increase.”
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 67:6
Verse 6. The earth yield her increase] As the ground was cursed for the sin of man, and the curse was to be removed by Jesus Christ, the fertility of the ground should be influenced by the preaching of the Gospel; for as the people's minds would become enlightened by the truth, they would, in consequence, become capable of making the most beneficial discoveries in arts and sciences, and there should be an especial blessing on the toil of the pious husbandman. Whenever true religion prevails, every thing partakes of its beneficent influence.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 67:6
6. Then shall the earth &c.] Render, The land hath yielded her increase, according to the promise of Lev 26:4; cp. Psalms 85:12; Psalms 65:9 ff. God, our God, is the Elohistic editor’s substitution for Jehovah our God. shall bless us] Here and in the following verse the verbs might be taken as a prayer: may God bless us. But it is better to render doth or shall bless us. Pointing to the abundant harvest (Psalms 67:6 a), the thankful people declare that God is blessing them, and express their faith that He will continue to bless them, with the result that the remotest nations of the world will become ‘fearers of God,’ worshippers of the only true God, the God of Israel (Psalms 66:16).
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 67:6
Then shall the earth yield her increase - The word rendered “increase” - יבול yebûl - means properly produce, or that which the earth produces when properly cultivated.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 67:6
6. Then shall the earth yield her increase—Which shows that godliness has “promise of the life that now is.” 1 Timothy 4:8; Psalms 85:12.
