1LORD, thou have been favorable to thy land. Thou have brought back the captivity of Jacob. 2Thou have forgiven the iniquity of thy people. Thou have covered all their sin. Selah. 3Thou have taken away all thy wrath. Thou have turned from the fierceness of thine anger. 4Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease. 5Will thou be angry with us forever? Will thou draw out thine anger to all generations? 6Will thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee? 7Show us thy loving kindness, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. 8I will hear what God, LORD, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, and to his sanctified. But let them not turn again to folly. 9Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. 10Mercy and truth are met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. 11Truth springs out of the earth, and righteousness has looked down from heaven. 12Yea, LORD will give that which is good, and our land shall yield its increase. 13Righteousness shall go before him, and shall make his footsteps a path.
