[1] Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. [2] Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah [3] Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; Thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. [4] Turn us, O God of our salvation, And cause thine indignation toward us to cease. [5] Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? [6] Wilt thou not quicken us again, That thy people may rejoice in thee? [7] Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, And grant us thy salvation. [8] I will hear what God Jehovah will speak; For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: But let them not turn again to folly. [9] Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, That glory may dwell in our land. [10] Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. [11] Truth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven. [12] Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good; And our land shall yield its increase. [13] Righteousness shall go before him, And shall make his footsteps a way to walk in.
