[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.
