[1] Lord, you have been kind to your land. You gave the people of Jacob back their riches. [2] You forgave the guilt of the people. You covered all their sins. Selah [3] You stopped all your anger. You stopped your strong anger. [4] God our Savior, bring us back again. Stop being angry with us. [5] Will you be angry with us forever? Will you stay angry from now on? [6] Won't you give us life again? Your people would rejoice in you. [7] Lord, show us your love. Save us. [8] I will listen to God the Lord. He has ordered peace for his people who worship him. Don't let them go back to foolishness. [9] God will soon save those who respect him. And his greatness will be seen in our land. [10] Love and truth will belong to God's people. Goodness and peace will be theirs. [11] On earth people will be loyal to God. And God's goodness will shine down from heaven. [12] The Lord will give his goodness. And the land will give its crops. [13] Goodness will go before God and prepare the way for him.
