[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 Selah [3] You have withdrawn all Your wrath; You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger. [4] Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your indignation toward us. [5] Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations? [6] Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You? [7] Show us Your mercy, O LORD, and grant us Your deliverance. [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 again to folly. [9] Surely His salvation is near to them who fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land. [10] Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed. [11] Truth springs from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky. [12] Yes, the LORD gives that which is good, and our land shall yield its increase. [13] Righteousness shall go before Him and prepare a way for His footsteps.
