1. ¹For the Leader. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
2. ²LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto Thy land, Thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob.
3. ³Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast pardoned all their sin. Selah
4. ⁴Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger.
5. ⁵Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause Thine indignation toward us to cease.
6. ⁶Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations?
7. ⁷Wilt Thou not quicken us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?
8. ⁸Show us Thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us Thy salvation.
9. ⁹I will hear what God the LORD will speak; for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly.
10. ¹⁰Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him; that glory may dwell in our land.
11. ¹¹Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
12. ¹²Truth springeth out of the earth; and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.
13. ¹³Yea, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her produce.
14. ¹⁴Righteousness shall go before Him, and shall make His footsteps a way.
