✧For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. LORD, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob. ✧2You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. Selah. ✧3You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger. ✧4Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease. ✧5Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations? ✧6Won’t you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? ✧7Show us your loving kindness, LORD. Grant us your salvation. ✧8I will hear what God, the LORD, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, his saints; but let them not turn again to folly. ✧9Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. ✧10Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. ✧11Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven. ✧12Yes, the LORD will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase. ✧13Righteousness goes before him, and prepares the way for his steps.
