| 1LORD you have favored your land and restored the fortunes of Jacob. | 1For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. You, LORD, showed favor to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob. |
| 2You took away the iniquity of your people, forgiving all their sins Interlude | 2You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins. |
| 3You withdrew all your wrath and turned away from your burning anger. | 3You set aside all your wrath and turned from your fierce anger. |
| 4Restore us, God of our salvation, and stop being angry with us. | 4Restore us again, God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us. |
| 5Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger from generation to generation? | 5Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through all generations? |
| 6Will you restore our lives again so that your people may rejoice in you? | 6Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? |
| 7LORD, show your gracious love and deliver us. | 7Show us your unfailing love, LORD, and grant us your salvation. |
| 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; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants-- but let them not turn to folly. |
| 9Surely, he will soon deliver those who fear him, for his glory will live in our land. | 9Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land. |
| 10Gracious love and truth meet; righteousness and peace kiss. | 10Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other. |
| 11Truth sprouts up from the ground, while righteousness looks down from the sky. | 11Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. |
| 12The LORD will also provide what is good, and our land will yield its produce. | 12The LORD will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest. |
| 13Righteousness will go before him to prepare a path for his steps. | 13Righteousness goes before him and prepares the way for his steps. |
