1.
Lord, You have been favorable to Your
land;
You have brought back the captivity of
Jacob.
2.
You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people;
You have covered all their sin.
3.
You have taken away all Your wrath;
You have turned from the fierceness of Your
anger.
4.
Restore us , O God of our salvation, and cause
Your
anger toward us to cease.
5.
Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger
through all generations?
6.
Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in
you?
7.
Show us your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant us your
salvation.
8.
I will listen to what God the LORD will say; he promises peace to
his people, his saints-- but let them not return to
folly.
9.
Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may
dwell in our land.
10.
Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss
each other.
11.
Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks
down from heaven.
12.
The LORD will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its
harvest.
13.
Righteousness goes before him and prepares the way for his steps.
