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.
