  • 1 You, Lord, showed favor to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
  • 2 You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins.
  • 3 You set aside all your wrath and turned from your fierce anger.
  • 4 Restore us again, God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us.
  • 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, Lord, and grant us your salvation.
  • 8 I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants— but let them not turn 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.
