[[To him that excelleth.] A Psalm Chapter committed to the sons of Korah.][1]Lord, thou hast been favorable unto thy land: thou hast brought again the captivity of Jacob.[2]Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, and covered all their sins. Selah.[3]Thou hast withdrawn all thine anger, and hast turned back from the fierceness of thy wrath.[4]Turn us, O God of our salvation, and release thine anger toward us.[5]Wilt thou be angry with us forever? And wilt thou prolong thy wrath from one generation to another?[6]Wilt thou not turn again and quicken us, that thy people may rejoice in thee?[7]Show us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.[8]I will hearken what the Lord God will say: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his Saints, that they turn not again to folly.[9]Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.[10]Mercy and truth shall meet: righteousness and peace shall kiss one another.[11]Truth shall bud out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven.[12]Yea, the Lord shall give good things, and our land shall give her increase.[13]Righteousness shall go before him, and shall set her steps in the way.
