1«To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.» LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. 2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. 3Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned [thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger. 4Turne vs, O God of our saluation, and release thine anger toward vs. 5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? 6Wilt thou not turne againe & quicken vs, that thy people may reioyce in thee? 7Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. 8I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. 9Surely his saluation is neere to them that feare him, that glory may dwell in our land. 10Mercie and trueth shall meete: righteousnes and peace shall kisse one another. 11Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. 12Yea, the Lord shall giue good things, and our land shall giue her increase. 13Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set [us] in the way of his steps.
