For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.
1 You, LORD, showed favor to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2
You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins.
3
You set aside all your wrath and turned from your fierce anger.
4
Restore us again, God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us.
5
Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through all generations?
6
Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
7
Show us your unfailing love, LORD, and grant us your salvation.
8
I will listen to what God the LORD says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants— but let them not turn to folly.
9
Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land.
10
Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other.
