1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Lord, You have been favorable to Your land; You have brought back the captivity 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 Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Your anger toward us to cease. |
5 Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger to all generations? |
6 Will You not revive us again, That Your people may rejoice in You? |
7 Show us Your mercy, LORD, And grant us Your salvation. |
8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak, For He will speak peace To His people and to His saints; But let them not turn back to folly. |
9 Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, That glory may dwell in our land. |
10 Mercy and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed. |
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth, And righteousness shall look down from heaven. |
12 Yes, the LORD will give what is good; And our land will yield its increase. |
13 Righteousness will go before Him, And shall make His footsteps our pathway. |
