1 You, Lord, showed favor to your land;
you restored the fortunes of
Jacob.
2 You forgave the iniquity of your
people
and covered all their sins.[b]
3 You set aside all your wrath
and turned from your fierce anger.
4 Restore us
again, God our Savior,
and put away your displeasure toward
us.
5 Will you be angry with us
forever?
Will you prolong your anger through all
generations?
6 Will you not revive us
again,
that your people may rejoice in
you?
7 Show us your unfailing
love, Lord,
and grant us your salvation.
8 I will listen to
what God the Lord says;
he promises peace to his people, his faithful
servants—
but let them not turn to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is near those who
fear him,
that his glory may dwell in our
land.
10 Love and
faithfulness meet together;
righteousness and peace kiss each
other.
11 Faithfulness springs forth from the
earth,
and righteousness looks down from
heaven.
12 The Lord will indeed give what is
good,
and our land will yield its
harvest.
13 Righteousness goes before him
and prepares the way for his
steps.
