1 To the overseer: to the sons of Korah a chanting. O Jehovah, thou didst delight in thy land: thou didst turn back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Thou didst lift up the iniquity of thy people, thou didst cover all their sin. Silence.
3 Thou didst take away all thy wrath: thou didst turn back the burning of thine anger.
4 Turn us back, O God of our salvation, and annul thine anger with us.
5 Wilt thou be angry with us forever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to generation and generation?
6 Wilt thou not turn back? wilt thou give us life? and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
7 Cause us, O Jehovah, to see thy mercy, and thou wilt give to us thy salvation.
8 I will hear what God Jehovah shall speak: for he will speak peace to his people, and to his godly ones: and they shall not turn back to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is near to those fearing him, for glory to dwell in his land.
