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