1Yahweh, you have showed favor to your land;
you have restored the well-being of Jacob.

2You have forgiven the sin of your people;
you have covered all their sin. Selah

3You have withdrawn all your wrath;
you have turned back from your hot anger.

4Restore us, God of our salvation,
and let go of your displeasure with us.

5Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you remain angry throughout future generations?

6Will you not revive us again?
Then your people will rejoice in you.

7Show us your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh,
grant us your salvation.

8I will listen to what Yahweh God says,
for he will make peace with his people, his faithful followers.
Yet they must not turn again to foolish ways.

9Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him;
then glory will remain in our land.

10Covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness have met together;
righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11Trustworthiness springs up from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from the sky.

12Yes, Yahweh will give his good blessings,
and our land will yield its crops.

13Righteousness will go before him
and make a way for his footsteps.
