God, you smiled on your good earth! You brought good times back to Jacob!

You took back your sin-provoked threats, you cooled your hot, righteous anger.

Help us again, God of our help; don't hold a grudge against us forever.

You aren't going to keep this up, are you? scowling and angry, year after year?

Why not help us make a fresh start - a resurrection life? Then your people will laugh and sing!

Show us how much you love us, God! Give us the salvation we need!

I can't wait to hear what he'll say. God's about to pronounce his people well, The holy people he loves so much, so they'll never again live like fools.

See how close his salvation is to those who fear him? Our country is home base for Glory!
