2 You forgave the iniquity of your peopleand covered all their sins.
3 You set aside all your wrathand turned from your fierce anger.
4 Restore us again, God our Saviour,and put away your displeasure towards us.
5 Will you be angry with us for ever?Will you prolong your anger through all generations?
6 Will you not revive us again,that your people may rejoice in you?
7 Show us your unfailing love, Lord,and grant us your salvation.
8 I will listen to what God the Lord says;he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants –but let them not turn to folly.
