To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
1 _LORD_Jehovah, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned
thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 Shew us thy mercy,
_LORD_O Jehovah, and grant us thy salvation.
8 I will hear what God
_the_LORD_Jehovah will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints:
but let them not turn again to folly.
9 Surely his salvation
is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed
each other.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Yea,
_the_LORD_Jehovah shall give
that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set
us in the way of his steps.
