¹ To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Lorde, 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 fro 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 & 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.
