A Prayer for God's Mercy on Israel |
| To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. |
|
| 1 |
LORD, 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 anger 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 revive us again:
| | |
that thy people may rejoice in thee? |
|
|
| 7 |
Show us thy mercy, O LORD,
| | |
and grant us thy salvation. |
|
|
| 8 |
I will hear what God the LORD 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 shall spring out of the earth;
| | |
and righteousness shall look down from heaven. |
|
|
| 12 |
Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good;
| | |
and our land shall yield her increase. |
|
|
| 13 |
Righteousness shall go before him;
| | |
and shall set us in the way of his steps. |
|
|
