¹ O Lord, You showed ^(a)favor to Your land;
You ^[a](b)restored the captivity of Jacob.
² You ^(c)forgave the iniquity of Your people;
You ^(d)covered all their sin. ^[b]Selah.
³ You ^(e)withdrew all Your fury;
You ^(f)turned away from Your burning anger.

^4 (g)Restore us, O God of our salvation,
And ^(h)cause Your indignation toward us to cease.
⁵ Will ⁽ⁱ⁾You be angry with us forever?
Will You prolong Your anger to ^[c]all generations?
⁶ Will You not Yourself ^[d](j)revive us again,
That Your people may ^(k)rejoice in You?
⁷ Show us Your lovingkindness, O Lord,
And ^(l)grant us Your salvation.

^8 [e]I will hear what God the Lord will say;
For He will ^(m)speak peace to His people, ^[f]to His godly ones;
But let them not ⁽ⁿ⁾turn back to ^[g]folly.
⁹ Surely ^(o)His salvation is near to those who ^[h]fear Him,
That ^(p)glory may dwell in our land.
^10 (q)Lovingkindness and ^[i]truth have met together;
^(r)Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
^11 [j]Truth ^(s)springs from the earth,
And righteousness looks down from heaven.
¹² Indeed, ^(t)the Lord will give what is good,
And our ^(u)land will yield its produce.
^13 (v)Righteousness will go before Him
And will make His footsteps into a way.
