[For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core.][1]O Lord, thou has taken pleasure in thy land: thou hast turned back the captivity of Jacob.[2]Thou hast forgiven thy people their transgressions; thou has covered all their sins. Pause.[3]Thou has caused all thy wrath to cease: thou hast turned from thy fierce anger.[4]Turn us, O God of our salvation, and turn thy anger away from us.[5]Wouldest thou be angry with us for ever? or wilt thou continue thy wrath from generation to generation?[6]O God, thou wilt turn and quicken us; and thy people shall rejoice in thee.[7]Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.[8]I will hear what the Lord God will say concerning me: for he shall speak peace to his people, and to his saints, and to those that turn their heart toward him.[9]Moreover his salvation is near them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.[10]Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed each other.[11]Truth has sprung out of the earth; and righteousness has looked down from heaven.[12]For the Lord will give goodness; and our land shall yield her fruit.[13]Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set his steps in the way.
