1 T hou hast been favourable, Jehovah, unto thy land; thou hast turned 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3 T hou hast withdrawn all thy wrath; thou hast turned from the fierceness of thine anger.

4 B ring us back, 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 from generation to generation?

6 W ilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

7 S hew us thy loving-kindness, 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 godly ones: 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 L oving-kindness and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other:

11 T ruth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from the heavens.

12 J ehovah also will give what is good, and our land shall yield its increase.

13 R ighteousness shall go before him, and shall set his footsteps on the way.
