1
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. LORD, thou wast favorable to thy land; thou didst restore the fortunes of Jacob.
2
Thou didst forgive the iniquity of thy people; thou didst pardon all their sin. [Selah]
3
Thou didst withdraw all thy wrath; thou didst turn from thy hot anger.
4
Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away thy indignation toward us!
5
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou prolong thy anger to all generations?
6
Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7
Show us thy steadfast love, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
8
Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints, to those who turn to him in their hearts.
9
Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10
Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other.
11
Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky.
