1 O Yahweh, you favored your land. You restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2 You took away the guilt of your people; you covered all their sin. Selah
3 You withdrew all your wrath; you turned from your burning anger.
4 Restore us, O God of our salvation, and annul your vexation with us.
5 Will you be angry against us forever? Will you prolong your anger generation after generation?
6 Will you not again revive us, that your people might rejoice in you?
7 Show us, O Yahweh, your loyal love, and grant us your salvation.
8 I will hear what God, Yahweh, will speak, because he will speak peace to his people, even his faithful [ones], but let them not return to folly.
9 Surely his salvation [is] near for those who fear him, that glory may abide in our land.
10 Loyal love and faithfulness will meet one another; righteousness and peace will kiss.
11 Faithfulness will sprout from [the] ground, and righteousness will look down from heaven.
12 Yes, Yahweh will give [what is] good, and our land will give its produce.
13 Righteousness will go before him, and it will make his steps a pathway.
