1For the choir director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. LORD, You showed favor to Your land; You restored Jacob's prosperity. | 1LORD, you poured out blessings on your land! You restored the fortunes of Israel. |
2You took away Your people's guilt; You covered all their sin. Selah | 2You forgave the guilt of your people— yes, you covered all their sins. Interlude |
3You withdrew all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger. | 3You held back your fury. You kept back your blazing anger. |
4Return to us, God of our salvation, and abandon Your displeasure with 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 for all generations? | 5Will you be angry with us always? Will you prolong your wrath to all generations? |
6Will You not revive us again so that Your people may rejoice in You? | 6Won’t you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you? |
7Show us Your faithful love, LORD, and give us Your salvation. | 7Show us your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation. |
8I will listen to what God will say; surely the LORD will declare peace to His people, His godly ones, and not let them go back to foolish ways. | 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. |
9His salvation is very near those who fear Him, so 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. |
10Faithful love and truth will join together; righteousness and peace will embrace. | 10Unfailing love and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed! |
11Truth will spring up from the earth, and righteousness will look down from heaven. | 11Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness smiles down from heaven. |
12Also, the LORD will provide what is good, and our land will yield its crops. | 12Yes, the LORD pours down his blessings. Our land will yield its bountiful harvest. |
13Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps. | 13Righteousness goes as a herald before him, preparing the way for his steps. |
