¹ Lord, you were ^(b)favorable to your land;
    you ^(c)restored the fortunes of Jacob.
² You ^(d)forgave the iniquity of your people;
    you ^(e)covered all their sin. Selah
³ You withdrew all your wrath;
    you ^(f)turned from your hot anger.

^4 (g)Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
    and put away your indignation toward us!
^5 (h)Will you be angry with us forever?
    Will you prolong your anger to all generations?
⁶ Will you not ⁽ⁱ⁾revive us again,
    that your people may ^(j)rejoice in you?
⁷ Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,
    and grant us your salvation.

^8 (k)Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,
    for he will ^(l)speak peace to his people, to his ^(m)saints;
    but let them not ⁽ⁿ⁾turn back to ^(o)folly.
⁹ Surely his ^(p)salvation is near to those who fear him,
    that ^(q)glory may dwell in our land.

^10 (r)Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
    ^(s)righteousness and peace kiss each other.
¹¹ Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
    and righteousness looks down from the sky.
¹² Yes, ^(t)the Lord will give what is good,
    and our land ^(u)will yield its increase.
^13 (v)Righteousness will go before him
    and make his footsteps a way.
