2
The wrongdoing of your people had forgiveness; all their sin had been covered. (Selah.)
3
You were no longer angry: you were turned from the heat of your wrath.
4
Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.
5
Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?
6
Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?
7
Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.
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
Truly, his salvation is near to his worshippers; so that glory may be in our land.
10
Mercy and faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.
11
Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.
12
The Lord will give what is good; and our land will give its increase.
