| 1 ¶ To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons1 of Korah. LORD, thou hast been favourable2 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 thyself3 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.
