[For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core.]
[1] O Lord, thou has taken pleasure in thy land: thou hast turned back the captivity of Jacob.
[2] Thou hast forgiven thy people their transgressions; thou has covered all their sins. Pause.
[3] Thou has caused all thy wrath to cease: thou hast turned from thy fierce anger.
[4] Turn us, O God of our salvation, and turn thy anger away from us.
[5] Wouldest thou be angry with us for ever? or wilt thou continue thy wrath from generation to generation?
[6] O God, thou wilt turn and quicken us; and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
[7] Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.
[8] I will hear what the Lord God will say concerning me: for he shall speak peace to his people, and to his saints, and to those that turn their heart toward him.
[9] Moreover his salvation is near 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 has sprung out of the earth; and righteousness has looked down from heaven.
[12] For the Lord will give goodness; and our land shall yield her fruit.
[13] Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set his steps in the way.
