[1]To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. LORD, thou hast been favorable to 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 thy anger.
[4]Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thy anger towards us to cease.
[5]Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thy anger to all generations?
[6]Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
[7]Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
[8]I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace to 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 shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
[12]Yes, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
[13]Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
