• Prayer for God’s Mercy upon the Nation.

  • 1 Lord, You showed favor to Your land; You restored the fortunes of Jacob.
  • 2 You forgave the guilt of Your people; You covered all their sin. Selah
  • 3 You withdrew all Your fury; You turned away from Your burning anger.
  • 4 Restore us, God of our salvation, And cause Your indignation toward us to cease.
  • 5 Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger to all generations?
  • 6 Will You not revive us again, So that Your people may rejoice in You?
  • 7 Show us Your mercy, Lord, And grant us Your salvation.
  • 8 I will hear what God the Lord will say; For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones; And may they not turn back to foolishness.
  • 9 Certainly His salvation is near to those who fear Him, That glory may dwell in our land.
  • 10 Graciousness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
  • 11 Truth sprouts from the earth, And righteousness looks down from heaven.
  • 12 Indeed, the Lord will give what is good, And our land will yield its produce.
  • 13 Righteousness will go before Him And will make His footsteps into a way.
