1 Lord, You have been favorable to Your land;You have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people;You have covered all their sin.Selah
3 You have taken away all Your wrath;You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger.
4 Restore us, O God of our salvation,And cause Your anger toward us to cease.
5 Will You be angry with us forever?Will You prolong Your anger to all generations?
6 Will You not revive us again,That Your people may rejoice in You?
7 Show us Your mercy, Lord,And grant us Your salvation.
8 I will hear what God the Lord will speak,For He will speak peaceTo His people and to His saints;But let them not turn back to folly.
9 Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him,That glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth have met together;Righteousness and peace have kissed.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth,And righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Yes, the Lord will give what is good;And our land will yield its increase.
13 Righteousness will go before Him,And shall make His footsteps our pathway.
