Psalms

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

You Showed Favor to Your Land

1<To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah.> Lord, you were good to your land: changing the fate of Jacob.+ 2The wrongdoing of your people had forgiveness; all their sin had been covered. (Selah.)+ 3You were no longer angry: you were turned from the heat of your wrath.+ 4Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.+ 5Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?+ 6Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?+ 7Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.+ 8I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.+ 9Truly, his salvation is near to his worshippers; so that glory may be in our land.+ 10Mercy and faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.+ 11Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.+ 12The Lord will give what is good; and our land will give its increase.+ 13Righteousness will go before him, making a way for his footsteps.+
