1 You have been favorable to your land, O LORD; you have restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2 You have lifted away the iniquity of your people; you have covered all their sin. Selah.
3 You have gathered up all your wrath; you have turned from the heat of your anger.
4 Turn us back, God of our salvation, and break off your displeasure with us.
5 Will you be angry with us for all time? Will you prolong your anger to generation after generation?
6 Will you not turn and give us life again, that your people may be glad in you?
7 Let us see your steadfast love, O LORD, and give us your salvation.
8 I will listen for what God the LORD will say, for he will speak peace to his people and to his godly ones; only let them not return to foolishness.
9 Surely near to those who fear him is his salvation, that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Steadfast love and truth meet; righteousness and peace kiss.
11 Truth sprouts from the earth, and righteousness gazes down from the heavens.
12 The LORD will indeed give what is good, and our land will give its yield.
13 Righteousness will walk before him and set his steps on the way.
