Verses 1–10
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. LORD, you have been favourable 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 towards 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.
