1TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. You have accepted, O YHWH, Your land, || You have turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
2You have carried away the iniquity of Your people, || You have covered all their sin. Selah.
3You have gathered up all Your wrath, || You have turned back from the fierceness of Your anger.
4Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, || And make void Your anger with us.
5Are You angry against us for all time? Do You draw out Your anger || To generation and generation?
6Do You not turn back? You revive us, || And Your people rejoice in You.
7Show us, O YHWH, your kindness, || And You give to us Your salvation.
8I hear what God, YHWH, speaks, || For He speaks peace to His people, || And to His saints, and they do not turn back to folly.
9Surely His salvation [is] near to those fearing Him, || That glory may dwell in our land.
10Kindness and truth have met, || Righteousness and peace have kissed,
11Truth springs up from the earth, || And righteousness looks out from the heavens,
12YHWH also gives that which is good, || And our land gives its increase.
13Righteousness goes before Him, || And makes a way for His footsteps!
