1 - ?For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.?
You, Lord, showed favor to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2 - You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins.
3 - You set aside all your wrath and turned from your fierce anger.
4 - Restore us again, God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us.
5 - Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through all generations?
6 - Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
7 - Show us your unfailing love, Lord, and grant us your salvation.
8 - I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants - but let them not turn to folly.
9 - Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land.
10 - Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other.
11 - Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
12 - The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.
13 - Righteousness goes before him and prepares the way for his steps.
