1  Lord, you were favorable to your land;

you ^hrestored the fortunes of Jacob.

2  You ⁱforgave the iniquity of your people;

you ^jcovered all their sin. Selah

3  You withdrew all your wrath;

you turned from your hot anger.

4  ^kRestore us again, O God of our salvation,

and put away your indignation toward us!

5  ^lWill you be angry with us forever?

Will you prolong your anger to all generations?

6  Will you not ^mrevive us again,

that your people may rejoice in you?

7  Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,

and grant us your salvation.

8  Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,

for he will ⁿspeak peace to his people, to his saints;

but let them not turn back to folly.

9  Surely his ^osalvation is near to those who fear him,

that ^pglory may dwell in our land.

10  Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;

righteousness and peace kiss each other.

11  Faithfulness springs up from the ground,

and righteousness looks down from the sky.

12  Yes, ^qthe Lord will give what is good,

and ^rour land will yield its increase.

13  Righteousness will go before him

and make his footsteps a way.
