You set aside all your wrath and turned from your fierce anger.
4 Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.
4
Restore us again, God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us.
5 To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?
5
Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through all generations?
6 Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.
6
Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
7 Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.
