1 LORD, thou hast been favourable 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 anger 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 revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? | |
7 Shew 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 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 shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. | |
12 Yea, the LORD shall 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. | |
