For the Leader. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
—
LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto Thy land, Thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob.
—
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast pardoned all their sin. Selah .
—
Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger.
—
Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Thine indignation toward us to cease.
—
Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations?
—
Wilt Thou not quicken us again, That Thy people may rejoice in Thee?
—
Show us Thy mercy, O LORD, And grant us Thy salvation.
—
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 back to folly.
—
Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him; That glory may dwell in our land.
—
Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
—
Truth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.
—
Yea, the LORD will give that which is good; And our land shall yield her produce.
—
Righteousness shall go before Him, And shall make His footsteps a way.
