2 Thou pardoned thy people hastall their iniquities;Thou all their trespasses and sinshast cover'd from thine eyes.
3 Thou took'st off all thine ire, and turn'dstfrom thy wrath's furiousness.
4 Turn us, God of our health, and causethy wrath 'gainst us to cease.
5 Shall thy displeasure thus endureagainst us without end?Wilt thou to generations allthine anger forth extend?
6 That in thee may thy people joy,wilt thou not us revive?
7 Shew us thy mercy, Lord, to usdo thy salvation give.
8 I'll hear what God the Lord will speak:to his folk he'll speak peace,And to his saints; but let them notreturn to foolishness.
