Psalms

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

You Showed Favor to Your Land

1Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.+ 2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; Thou hast covered all their sin.[Selah+ 3Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; Thou hast turned [thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger.+ 4Turn us, O God of our salvation, And cause thine indignation toward us to cease.+ 5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?+ 6Wilt thou not quicken us again, That thy people may rejoice in thee?+ 7Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, And grant us thy salvation.+ 8I will hear what God Jehovah will speak; For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: But let them not turn again to folly.+ 9Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.+ 10Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.+ 11Truth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.+ 12Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good; And our land shall yield its increase.+ 13Righteousness shall go before him, And shall make his footsteps a way [to walk in].+
