¹ O God, thou art become gracious vnto thy land: thou hast brought Iacob agayne home out of captiuitie.² Thou hast forgeuen the wickednes of thy people: and couered all their sinnes. Selah.³ Thou hast taken away al thy displeasure: and turned thy selfe from thy wrathfull indignation.⁴ Turne vs O God of our saluation: and let thyne anger ceasse from vs.⁵ Wilt thou be displeased at vs for euer? and wylt thou stretche out thy wrath from one generation to another,⁶ Wylt thou not turne agayne and reuiue vs: that thy people may reioyce in thee?⁷ Shew vs thy louing kindnes O God: and graunt vs thy saluation.

⁸ I wyll hearken what God the Lord saith: for he speaketh peace vnto his people & to his saintes, that they turne not agayne to folly.⁹ For truely his saluation is nye them that feare him: insomuch that glory dwelleth in our earth.¹⁰ Mercy and trueth are met together: righteousnes and peace haue kissed [eche other.]¹¹ Trueth shall bud out of the earth: and ryghteousnes shall looke downe from heauen.¹² Yea, God shall geue all that is good: and our earth shall geue her encrease.¹³ [Euery man] shall cause righteousnes to go before him: and he shall direct his steppes in the way.
