[1]LORD, thou hast been favorable to thy land; thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.[2]Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin.[3]Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; thou hast withdrawn the fierceness of thine anger.[4]Restore us, O God our Saviour, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.[5]Be not angry with us for ever; hold not thine anger against all generations.[6]Restore us and revive us, that thy people may rejoice in thee.[7]Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.[8]We will hear what the LORD our God will speak; for he will speak peace to his people and to his saints, that they may not turn again to folly.[9]Surely his salvation is near them that reverence him; let his glory dwell in our land.[10]Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.[11]Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.[12]Yea, the LORD shall give his goodness; and the land shall yield its fruits.[13]And the righteous shall go before him; and he shall establish his ways upon the earth.
