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. | 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 forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins. | 2You pardoned the wrongdoing of your people; you forgave all their sin. (Selah) |
3You set aside all your wrath and turned from your fierce anger. | 3You withdrew all your fury; you turned back from your raging anger. |
4Restore us again, God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward 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 through all generations? | 5Will you stay mad at us forever? Will you remain angry throughout future generations? |
6Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? | 6Will you not revive us once more? Then your people will rejoice in you! |
7Show us your unfailing love, LORD, and grant us your salvation. | 7O LORD, show us your loyal love! Bestow on us your deliverance! |
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. | 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 his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land. | 9Certainly his loyal followers will soon experience his deliverance; then his splendor will again appear in our land. |
10Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other. | 10Loyal love and faithfulness meet; deliverance and peace greet each other with a kiss. |
11Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. | 11Faithfulness grows from the ground, and deliverance looks down from the sky. |
12The LORD will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest. | 12Yes, the LORD will bestow his good blessings, and our land will yield its crops. |
13Righteousness goes before him and prepares the way for his steps. | 13Deliverance goes before him, and prepares a pathway for him. |
