1 J ehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

2 T hou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah

3 T hou hast taken away all thy wrath; Thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

4 T urn us, O God of our salvation, And cause thine indignation toward us to cease.

5 W ilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

6 W ilt thou not quicken us again, That thy people may rejoice in thee?

7 S how us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, And grant us thy salvation.

8 I will hear what God Jehovah will speak; For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: But let them not turn again to folly.

9 S urely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.

10 M ercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11 T ruth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

12 Y ea, Jehovah will give that which is good; And our land shall yield its increase.

13 R ighteousness shall go before him, And shall make his footsteps a way to walk in.
