1 For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. You showed favor to your land, O LORD; you restored the fortunes of Jacob. |
2 You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins. Selah |
3 You set aside all your wrath and turned from your fierce anger. |
4 Restore us again, O God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us. |
5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through all generations? |
6 Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? |
7 Show us your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation. |
8 I will listen to what God the LORD will say; he promises peace to his people, his saints--but let them not return to folly. |
9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land. |
10 Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other. |
11 Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. |
12 The LORD will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest. |
13 Righteousness goes before him and prepares the way for his steps. |
