ASV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land;
Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. ² Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people;
Thou hast covered all their sin. [Selah
³ Thou hast taken away all thy wrath;
Thou hast turned [thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger. ⁴ Turn us, O God of our salvation,
And cause thine indignation toward us to cease. ⁵ Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?
Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? ⁶ Wilt thou not quicken us again,
That thy people may rejoice in thee? ⁷ Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah,
And grant us thy salvation. ⁸ I will hear what God Jehovah will speak;
For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints:
But let them not turn again to folly. ⁹ Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him,
That glory may dwell in our land. ¹⁰ Mercy and truth are met together;
Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. ¹¹ Truth springeth out of the earth;
And righteousness hath looked down from heaven. ¹² Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good;
And our land shall yield its increase. ¹³ Righteousness shall go before him,
And shall make his footsteps a way [to walk in].
