[1] LORD, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.
[2] You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin.
[3] You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.
[4] Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease.
[5] Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
[6] Won’t you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
[7] Show us your loving kindness, LORD. Grant us your salvation.
[8] I will hear what God, the LORD, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, his holy ones; but let them not turn again to folly.
[9] Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
[10] Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
[11] Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.
[12] Yes, the LORD will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.
[13] Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps.
