1For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Yehovah, you have been favorable to your land; You have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2You have forgiven the iniquity of your people; You have covered all their sin. [Selah
3You have taken away all your wrath; You have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger.
4Turn us, O God of our salvation, And cause your indignation toward us to cease.
5Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
6Will you not revive us again, That your people may rejoice in you?
7Show us your lovingkindness, O Yehovah, And grant us your salvation.
8I will hear what God Yehovah will speak; For he will speak peace to his people, and to his saints: But do not let them turn again to folly.
9Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.
10Mercy and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11Truth springs out of the earth; And righteousness has looked down from heaven.
12Yes, Yehovah 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.
