1 L ord, You have been favorable to Your land; You have brought back the captivity of Jacob.

2 Y ou have forgiven the iniquity of Your people; You have covered all their sin. Selah

3 Y ou have taken away all Your wrath; You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger.

4 R estore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Your anger toward us to cease.

5 W ill You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger to all generations?

6 W ill You not revive us again, That Your people may rejoice in You?

7 S how us Your mercy, Lord, And grant us Your 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 back to folly.

9 S urely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, That glory may dwell in our land.

10 M ercy and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed.

11 T ruth shall spring out of the earth, And righteousness shall look down from heaven.

12 Y es, the Lord will give what is good; And our land will yield its increase.

13 R ighteousness will go before Him, And shall make His footsteps our pathway.
