You have shown favor to your land

1
To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Lord, thou hast bene fauourable vnto thy land: thou hast brought againe the captiuitie of Iaakob.
2
Thou hast forgiuen the iniquitie of thy people, and couered all their sinnes. Selah.
3
Thou hast withdrawen all thine anger, and hast turned backe from the fiercenes of thy wrath.
4
Turne vs, O God of our saluation, and release thine anger toward vs.
5
Wilt thou be angry with vs for euer? and wilt thou prolong thy wrath from one generation to another?
6
Wilt thou not turne againe and quicken vs, that thy people may reioyce in thee?
7
Shew vs thy mercie, O Lord, and graunt vs thy saluation.
8
I will hearken what the Lord God will say: for he will speake peace vnto his people, and to his Saintes, that they turne not againe to follie.
9
Surely his saluation is neere to them that feare him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10
Mercie and trueth shall meete: righteousnes and peace shall kisse one another.
11
Trueth shall bud out of the earth, and righteousnes shall looke downe from heauen.
12
Yea, the Lord shall giue good things, and our land shall giue her increase.
13
Righteousnesse shall go before him, and shall set her steps in the way.

You have shown favor to your land

1
LORD, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2
You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. Selah.
3
You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.
4
Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease.
5
Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
6
Won’t you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
7
Show us your loving kindness, LORD. Grant us your salvation.
8
I will hear what God, the LORD, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, his saints; but let them not turn again to folly.
9
Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10
Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11
Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.
12
Yes, the LORD will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.
13
Righteousness goes before him, and prepares the way for his steps.
