- {To the chief Musician.
Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.} Thou hast been favourable, Jehovah, unto thy land; thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob:
- 2
- Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people;
thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
- 3
- Thou hast withdrawn all thy wrath;
thou hast turned from the fierceness of thine anger.
- 4
- Bring us back, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease.
- 5
- Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?
wilt thou draw out thine anger from generation to generation?
- 6
- Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?
- 7
- Shew us thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy salvation.
- 8
- I will hear what God, Jehovah, will speak;
for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his godly ones: 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
- Loving-kindness 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 the heavens.
- 12
- Jehovah also will give what is good, and our land shall yield its increase.
- 13
- Righteousness shall go before him, and shall set his footsteps on the way.
