GOD'S WORD Translation GW
1 <<To the chief musician: A Psalm for the sons of Korah.>> LORD, Thou hast been favorable unto Thy land; Thou hast released the captives of Jacob.
1
You favored your land, O LORD. You restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people; Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah
2
You removed your people's guilt. You pardoned all their sins.
3 Thou hast taken away all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned Thyself from the fierceness of Thine anger.
3
You laid aside all your fury. You turned away from your burning anger.
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause Thine anger toward us to cease.
4
Restore us, O God, our savior. Put an end to your anger against us.
5 Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations?
5
Will you be angry with us forever? Will you ever let go of your anger in the generations to come?
6 Wilt Thou not revive us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?
6
Won't you restore our lives again so that your people may find joy in you?
7 Show us Thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us Thy salvation.
7
Show us your mercy, O LORD, by giving us your salvation.
8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak, for He will speak peace unto His people and to His saints; but let them not turn again to folly.
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 Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land.
9
Indeed, his salvation is near those who fear him, and [his] glory will remain in our land.
10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
10
Mercy and truth have met. Righteousness and peace have kissed.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
11
Truth sprouts from the ground, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good, and our land shall yield her increase.
12
The LORD will certainly give us what is good, and our land will produce crops.
13 Righteousness shall go before Him, and shall set us in the way of His steps.
13
Righteousness will go ahead of him and make a path for his steps.
