1 For the leader. A psalm of the sons of Korach: ADONAI, you have shown favor to your land; you have restored the fortunes of Ya'akov,
1
<To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah.> Lord, you were good to your land: changing the fate of Jacob.
2 taken away the guilt of your people, pardoned all their sin, (Selah)
2
The wrongdoing of your people had forgiveness; all their sin had been covered. (Selah.)
3 withdrawn all your wrath, turned from your fierce anger.
3
You were no longer angry: you were turned from the heat of your wrath.
4 Restore us, God of our salvation, renounce your displeasure with us.
4
Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.
5 Are you to stay angry with us forever? Will your fury last through all generations?
5
Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?
6 Won't you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you?
6
Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?
7 Show us your grace, ADONAI; grant us your salvation.
7
Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.
8 I am listening. What will God, ADONAI, say? For he will speak peace to his people, to his holy ones -but only if they don't relapse into folly.
8
I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.
9 His salvation is near for those who fear him, so that glory will be in our land.
9
Truly, his salvation is near to his worshippers; so that glory may be in our land.
10 Grace and truth have met together; justice and peace have kissed each other.
10
Mercy and faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.
11 Truth springs up from the earth, and justice looks down from heaven.
11
Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.
12 ADONAI will also grant prosperity; our land will yield its harvest.
12
The Lord will give what is good; and our land will give its increase.
13 Justice will walk before him and make his footsteps a path.
13
Righteousness will go before him, making a way for his footsteps.
