Ps. 67: Bless the Nations

Psalm 67:5 "May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you."

In the brief few verses of the 67th Psalm, God is the praiseworthy ruler. The one and only. The ruler of all nations. When I think of being ruled, I think of a negative connotation. Probably that's because of my American heritage, and Americans (until recently) were all about throwing rulers off. But here, there is a call for all nations to sing for joy and take God as their ruler. God would rule in perfect justice and guidance, which is the best argument for a theocracy. 

Another thing is the consensus. With God in control, everyone would praise Him. Except for like Iran and North Korea and Cuba, I don't think any leader has gotten 100% of the "vote," or a 100% approval rating. But God would.

Right?
