1To the chief musician. A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O Jehovah, You have been gracious to Your land; You have turned back the captivity of Jacob.
2You have taken away the iniquity of Your people; You covered all of their sins. Selah.
3You gathered all of Your wrath; You turned from the heat of Your anger.
4O God of our salvation, turn us, and break up Your anger with us.
5Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?
6Will You give us life anew, so that Your people may rejoice in You?
7Cause us to see Your mercy, O Jehovah, and give us Your salvation.
8I will hear what Jehovah God will say; for He will speak peace to His people, and His saints; but let them not turn again to folly.
9Surely His salvation is near to fearers of Him, for glory to dwell in our land.
10Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace kissed each other .
11Truth shall sprout out of the earth, and righteousness looks down from Heaven.
12Yea, Jehovah shall give good, and our land shall give its produce.
13Righteousness shall go before Him and shall make a way for His footsteps.
