[1] LORD, you’ve been kind to your land; you’ve changed Jacob’s circumstances for the better. [2] You’ve forgiven your people’s wrongdoing; you’ve covered all their sins. Selah [3] You’ve stopped being furious; you’ve turned away from your burning anger. [4] You, the God who can save us, restore us! Stop being angry with us! [5] Will you be mad at us forever? Will you prolong your anger from one generation to the next? [6] Won’t you bring us back to life again so that your people can rejoice in you? [7] Show us your faithful love, LORD! Give us your salvation! [8] Let me hear what the LORD God says, because he speaks peace to his people and to his faithful ones. Don’t let them return to foolish ways. [9] God’s salvation is very close to those who honor him so that his glory can live in our land. [10] Faithful love and truth have met; righteousness and peace have kissed. [11] Truth springs up from the ground; righteousness gazes down from heaven. [12] Yes, the LORD gives what is good, and our land yields its produce. [13] Righteousness walks before God, making a road for his steps.
