1 |
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. -
|
2 |
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah -
|
3 |
Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; Thou hast turned [thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger. -
|
4 |
Turn us, O God of our salvation, And cause thine indignation toward us to cease. -
|
5 |
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? -
|
6 |
Wilt thou not quicken us again, That thy people may rejoice in thee? -
|
7 |
Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, And grant us thy salvation. -
|
8 |
I will hear what God Jehovah will speak; For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: But let them not turn again to folly. -
|
9 |
Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, That glory may dwell in our land. -
|
10 |
Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. -
|
11 |
Truth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven. -
|
12 |
Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good; And our land shall yield its increase. -
|
13 |
Righteousness shall go before him, And shall make his footsteps a way [to walk in]. -
