1: To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob. 2: Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. 3: Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger. 4: Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us. 5: To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation? 6: Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee. 7: Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us. 8: I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly. 9: Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land. 10: Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed, 11: Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out, 12: Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase. 13: Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
