7 Show us your constant love, O Lord,and give us your saving help.
8 I am listening to what the Lord God is saying;he promises peace to us, his own people,if we do not go back to our foolish ways.
9 Surely he is ready to save those who honour him,and his saving presence will remain in our land.
10 Love and faithfulness will meet;righteousness and peace will embrace.
11 Human loyalty will reach up from the earth,and God's righteousness will look down from heaven.
12 The Lord will make us prosperous,and our land will produce rich harvests.
13 Righteousness will go before the Lordand prepare the path for him.
