[[To him that excelleth.] A Psalm Chapter committed to the sons of Korah.]
[1] Lord, thou hast been favorable unto thy land: thou hast brought again the captivity of Jacob.
[2] Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, and covered all their sins. Selah.
[3] Thou hast withdrawn all thine anger, and hast turned back from the fierceness of thy wrath.
[4] Turn us, O God of our salvation, and release thine anger toward us.
[5] Wilt thou be angry with us forever? And wilt thou prolong thy wrath from one generation to another?
[6] Wilt thou not turn again and quicken us, that thy people may rejoice in thee?
[7] Show us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.
[8] I will hearken what the Lord God will say: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his Saints, that they turn not again to folly.
[9] Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
[10] Mercy and truth shall meet: righteousness and peace shall kiss one another.
[11] Truth shall bud out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
[12] Yea, the Lord shall give good things, and our land shall give her increase.
[13] Righteousness shall go before him, and shall set her steps in the way.
