1 (For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.) O Lord, Thou didst show favor to Thy land; Thou didst restore the captivity of Jacob.

2 Thou didst forgive the iniquity of Thy people; Thou didst cover all their sin. Selah.

3 Thou didst withdraw all Thy fury; Thou didst turn away from Thy burning anger.

4 Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Thine indignation toward us to cease.

5 Wilt Thou be angry with us forever? Wilt Thou prolong Thine anger to all generations?

6 Wilt Thou not Thyself revive us again, That Thy people may rejoice in Thee?

7 Show us Thy lovingkindness, O Lord, And grant us Thy salvation.

8 I will hear what God the Lord will say; For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones; 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 Lovingkindness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11 Truth springs from the earth; And righteousness looks down from heaven.

12 Indeed, the Lord will give what is good; And our land will yield its produce.

13 Righteousness will go before Him, And will make His footsteps into a way.
