1 Yahweh, you have been favorable to your land.

You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.

2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people.

You have covered all their sin. Selah.

3 You have taken away all your wrath.

You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.

4 Turn us, God of our salvation,

and cause your indignation toward us to cease.

5 Will you be angry with us forever?

Will you draw out your anger to all generations?

6 Won’t you revive us again,

that your people may rejoice in you?

7 Show us your loving kindness, Yahweh.

Grant us your salvation.

8 I will hear what God, Yahweh, will speak,

for he will speak peace to his people, his saints;

but let them not turn again to folly.

9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him,

that glory may dwell in our land.

10 Mercy and truth meet together.

Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11 Truth springs out of the earth.

Righteousness has looked down from heaven.

12 Yes, Yahweh will give that which is good.

Our land will yield its increase.

13 Righteousness goes before him,

And prepares the way for his steps.

1 To the Overcomer, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land; thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; thou hast turned [thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger.

4 Turn us, O God our saving health and cause thine anger toward us to cease.

5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou extend thine anger from generation to generation?

6 Wilt thou not give us life again that thy people may rejoice in thee?

7 Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy saving health.

8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace unto his people and to his saints, that they not turn again to folly.

9 Surely his saving health [is] near those that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].

11 Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from the heavens.

12 The LORD shall give [that which is] good, and our land shall bring forth her fruit.

13 Righteousness shall go before him and shall set his steps in the way.:
