International Standard Version | NET Bible |
1LORD you have favored your land and restored the fortunes of Jacob. | 1For the music director; written by the Korahites, a psalm. O LORD, you showed favor to your land; you restored the well-being of Jacob. |
2You took away the iniquity of your people, forgiving all their sins Interlude | 2You pardoned the wrongdoing of your people; you forgave all their sin. (Selah) |
3You withdrew all your wrath and turned away from your burning anger. | 3You withdrew all your fury; you turned back from your raging anger. |
4Restore us, God of our salvation, and stop being angry with us. | 4Restore us, O God our deliverer! Do not be displeased with us! |
5Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger from generation to generation? | 5Will you stay mad at us forever? Will you remain angry throughout future generations? |
6Will you restore our lives again so that your people may rejoice in you? | 6Will you not revive us once more? Then your people will rejoice in you! |
7LORD, show your gracious love and deliver us. | 7O LORD, show us your loyal love! Bestow on us your deliverance! |
8Let me listen to what God, the LORD, says; for the LORD will promise peace to his people, to his holy ones; may they not return to foolishness. | 8I will listen to what God the LORD says. For he will make peace with his people, his faithful followers. Yet they must not return to their foolish ways. |
9Surely, he will soon deliver those who fear him, for his glory will live in our land. | 9Certainly his loyal followers will soon experience his deliverance; then his splendor will again appear in our land. |
10Gracious love and truth meet; righteousness and peace kiss. | 10Loyal love and faithfulness meet; deliverance and peace greet each other with a kiss. |
11Truth sprouts up from the ground, while righteousness looks down from the sky. | 11Faithfulness grows from the ground, and deliverance looks down from the sky. |
12The LORD will also provide what is good, and our land will yield its produce. | 12Yes, the LORD will bestow his good blessings, and our land will yield its crops. |
13Righteousness will go before him to prepare a path for his steps. | 13Deliverance goes before him, and prepares a pathway for him. |
