1
You favored your land, O LORD. You restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2
You removed your people's guilt. You pardoned all their sins.
3
You laid aside all your fury. You turned away from your burning anger.
4
Restore us, O God, our savior. Put an end to your anger against us.
5
Will you be angry with us forever? Will you ever let go of your anger in the generations to come?
6
Won't you restore our lives again so that your people may find joy in you?
7
Show us your mercy, O LORD, by giving us your salvation.
8
I want to hear what God the LORD says, because he promises peace to his people, to his godly ones. But they must not go back to their stupidity.
9
Indeed, his salvation is near those who fear him, and [his] glory will remain in our land.
10
Mercy and truth have met. Righteousness and peace have kissed.
