✧For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. You showed favor to Your land, O LORD; You restored Jacob from captivity. ✧2You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin. Selah ✧3You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger. ✧4Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us. ✧5Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations? ✧6Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You? ✧7Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation. ✧8I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly. ✧9Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land. ✧10Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed. ✧11Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. ✧12The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase. ✧13Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.
