1 ¶ LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land; thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

2 T hou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

3 T hou hast taken away all thy wrath; thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

4 T urn us, O God our saving health and cause thine anger toward us to cease.

5 W ilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou extend thine anger from generation to generation?

6 W ilt thou not give us life again that thy people may rejoice in thee?

7 S how us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy saving health.

8 ¶ I will hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace unto his people and to his saints, that they not turn again to folly.

9 S urely his saving health is near those that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

10 M ercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11 T ruth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from the heavens.

12 T he LORD shall give that which is good, and our land shall bring forth her fruit.

13 R ighteousness shall go before him and shall set his steps in the way.
