Revive Us Again
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of Ps. 42, titlethe Sons of Korah.
1 Lord, you were Ps. 77:7favorable to your land;
you Ps. 14:7restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2 You Ps. 32:1forgave the iniquity of your people;
you Ps. 32:1covered all their sin. Selah
3 You withdrew all your wrath;
you Ps. 78:38;106:23;Ex. 32:12;Deut. 13:17;Jonah 3:9turned from your hot anger.
4 See Ps. 80:3Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
and put away your indignation toward us!
5 [Ps. 79:5]Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you prolong your anger to all generations?
6 Will you not Ps. 71:20revive us again,
that your people may Ps. 90:14;149:2rejoice in you?
7 Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,
and grant us your salvation.
8 [Hab. 2:1] Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,
for he will Zech. 9:10;[Hag. 2:9] speak peace to his people, to his See Ps. 50:5saints;
but let them not [2 Pet. 2:21] turn back to [Ps. 49:13]folly.
9 Surely his Isa. 46:13salvation is near to those who fear him,
that Zech. 2:5;[John 1:14]glory may dwell in our land.
10 Ps. 89:14;See Ps. 40:11Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
[Isa. 45:8]; See Ps. 72:3righteousness and peace kiss each other.
11 Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from the sky.
12 Yes, Ps. 84:11;[James 1:17] the Lord will give what is good,
and our land See Ps. 67:6will yield its increase.
13 Ps. 89:14;Isa. 58:8Righteousness will go before him
and make his footsteps a way.
