| 1For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. You, LORD, showed favor to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob. | 1LORD, you poured out blessings on your land! You restored the fortunes of Israel. |
| 2You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins. | 2You forgave the guilt of your people— yes, you covered all their sins. Interlude |
| 3You set aside all your wrath and turned from your fierce anger. | 3You held back your fury. You kept back your blazing anger. |
| 4Restore us again, God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us. | 4Now restore us again, O God of our salvation. Put aside your anger against us once more. |
| 5Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through all generations? | 5Will you be angry with us always? Will you prolong your wrath to all generations? |
| 6Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? | 6Won’t you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you? |
| 7Show us your unfailing love, LORD, and grant us your salvation. | 7Show us your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation. |
| 8I will listen to what God the LORD says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants-- but let them not turn to folly. | 8I listen carefully to what God the LORD is saying, for he speaks peace to his faithful people. But let them not return to their foolish ways. |
| 9Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land. | 9Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, so our land will be filled with his glory. |
| 10Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other. | 10Unfailing love and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed! |
| 11Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. | 11Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness smiles down from heaven. |
| 12The LORD will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest. | 12Yes, the LORD pours down his blessings. Our land will yield its bountiful harvest. |
| 13Righteousness goes before him and prepares the way for his steps. | 13Righteousness goes as a herald before him, preparing the way for his steps. |
