[1] 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.
