4 O God Who saves us, give us life again. Make Your anger toward us stop.

5 W ill You be angry with us forever? Will You spread out Your anger to families of all times?

6 W ill You not bring us back to life again so that Your people may be happy in You?

7 S how us Your loving-kindness, O Lord, and save us.

8 I will listen to what God the Lord will say. For He will speak peace to His people, to those who are right with Him. But do not let them turn again to foolish things.

9 F or sure His saving power is near those who fear Him, so His shining-greatness may live in the land.

10 L oving-kindness and truth have met together. Peace and what is right and good have kissed each other.

11 T ruth comes up from the earth. And what is right and good looks down from heaven.

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

13 W hat is right and good will go before Him and make a way for His steps.
