| 1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. LORD, You have been favorable to Your land; You have brought back the captivity 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 have forgiven the iniquity of Your people; You have covered all their sin. Selah | 2You pardoned the wrongdoing of your people; you forgave all their sin. (Selah) |
| 3You have taken away all Your wrath; You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger. | 3You withdrew all your fury; you turned back from your raging anger. |
| 4Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Your anger toward us to cease. | 4Restore us, O God our deliverer! Do not be displeased with us! |
| 5Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger to 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 mercy, LORD, And grant us Your salvation. | 7O LORD, show us your loyal love! Bestow on us your deliverance! |
| 8I will hear what God the LORD will speak, For He will speak peace To His people and to His saints; But let them not turn back 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 to those who fear Him, That glory may dwell in our land. | 9Certainly his loyal followers will soon experience his deliverance; then his splendor will again appear in our land. |
| 10Mercy and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed. | 10Loyal love and faithfulness meet; deliverance and peace greet each other with a kiss. |
| 11Truth shall spring out of the earth, And righteousness shall look down from heaven. | 11Faithfulness grows from the ground, and deliverance looks down from the sky. |
| 12Yes, the LORD will give what is good; And our land will yield its increase. | 12Yes, the LORD will bestow his good blessings, and our land will yield its crops. |
| 13Righteousness will go before Him, And shall make His footsteps our pathway. | 13Deliverance goes before him, and prepares a pathway for him. |
