1(For the one directing. Of the Bnei Korach. Mizmor)

2Hashem, Thou hast been favorable unto Thy land;
Thou hast brought back the captivity of Ya'akov.

3Thou hast forgiven the avon (iniquity) of Amecha (Thy people);
Thou hast covered all their chattat (sin).
Selah

4Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath;
Thou hast turned from Thine charon af.

5Turn us, O Elohei Yisheinu (G-d of our salvation),
and put away Thine ka'as (anger) toward us.

6Wilt Thou be angry with us l'olam?
Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger l'dor vador?

7Wilt Thou not revive us again;
that Amecha (Thy people) may rejoice in Thee?

8Show us chasdecha (Thy chesed, kindness, steadfast love), Hashem,
and grant us Thy salvation.

9I will hear what HaEl Hashem will say;
for He will speak shalom unto His people, and to His Chasidim;
but let them not turn again to folly.

10Surely His salvation is karov (near) them that fear Him;
that kavod may dwell in Artzeinu (our land).

11Chesed and emes will meet together;
tzedek and shalom will kiss each other.

12Emes shall titzmach (sprout forth) ¹²⁰out of ha'aretz;
and tzedek shall look down from Shomayim.

13Yes, Hashem shall give that which is tov;
and Artzeinu (our land) shall yield her yevul (increase, produce).

14Tzedek shall go before Him;
and shall set us in the Derech of His steps.
