| 1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. LORD, You have been favorable to Your land; You have brought back the captivity of Jacob. | 1LORD, you poured out blessings on your land! You restored the fortunes of Israel. |
| 2You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people; You have covered all their sin. Selah | 2You forgave the guilt of your people— yes, you covered all their sins. Interlude |
| 3You have taken away all Your wrath; You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger. | 3You held back your fury. You kept back your blazing anger. |
| 4Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Your anger toward us to cease. | 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 to 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 mercy, LORD, And grant us Your salvation. | 7Show us your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation. |
| 8I will hear what God the LORD will speak, For He will speak peace To His people and to His saints; But let them not turn back 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 to those who fear Him, That 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. |
| 10Mercy and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed. | 10Unfailing love and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed! |
| 11Truth shall spring out of the earth, And righteousness shall look down from heaven. | 11Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness smiles down from heaven. |
| 12Yes, the LORD will give what is good; And our land will yield its increase. | 12Yes, the LORD pours down his blessings. Our land will yield its bountiful harvest. |
| 13Righteousness will go before Him, And shall make His footsteps our pathway. | 13Righteousness goes as a herald before him, preparing the way for his steps. |
