To the chief Musician, A Psalmfor the sonsof Korah. LORD, thou hast been favorableunto thy land: thou hast brought backthe captivityof Jacob. Thou hast forgiventhe iniquityof thy people, thou hast coveredalltheir sin. Selah. Thou hast taken awayallthy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fiercenessof thine anger. Turnus, O Godof our salvation, and cause thine angertowardus to cease. Wilt thou be angrywith us forever? wilt thou draw outthine angerto all generations? Wilt thounotreviveus again: that thy peoplemay rejoicein thee? Showus thy mercy, O LORD, and grantus thy salvation. I will hearwhatGodthe LORDwill speak: forhe will speakpeaceuntohis people, and tohis saints: but let them notturn againto folly. Surelyhis salvation is nighthem that fearhim; that glorymay dwellin our land. Mercyand truthare met together; righteousnessand peacehave kissed each other . Truthshall springout of the earth; and righteousnessshall look downfrom heaven. Yea, the LORDshall give that which is good; and our landshall yieldher increase. Righteousnessshall gobeforehim; and shall set us in the wayof his steps.
