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
.
