3 You stopped being angry with themand held back your furious rage.
4 Bring us back, O God our savior,and stop being displeased with us!
5 Will you be angry with us forever?Will your anger never cease?
6 Make us strong again,and we, your people, will praise you.
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 honor him,and his saving presence will remain in our land.
