To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. LORD, thou hast been favorable to thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. |
2. |
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. |
3. |
Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thy anger. |
4. |
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thy anger towards us to cease. |
5. |
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thy anger to all generations? |
6. |
Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? |
7. |
Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy 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 again to folly. |
9. |
Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. |
10. |
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. |
11. |
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. |
12. |
Yes, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. |
13. |
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps. |
