2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin.

3Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; thou hast withdrawn the fierceness of thine anger.

4Restore us, O God our Saviour, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.

5Be not angry with us for ever; hold not thine anger against all generations.

6Restore us and revive us, that thy people may rejoice in thee.

7Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.

8We will hear what the LORD our God will speak; for he will speak peace to his people and to his saints, that they may not turn again to folly.

9Surely his salvation is near them that reverence him; let his glory dwell in our land.

10Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

12Yea, the LORD shall give his goodness; and the land shall yield its fruits.

13And the righteous shall go before him; and he shall establish his ways upon the earth.
