| 1LORD, you were favorable to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob. | 1LORD, you poured out blessings on your land! You restored the fortunes of Israel. |
| 2You forgave the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin. Selah | 2You forgave the guilt of your people— yes, you covered all their sins. Interlude |
| 3You withdrew all your wrath; you turned from your hot anger. | 3You held back your fury. You kept back your blazing anger. |
| 4Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us! | 4Now restore us again, O God of our salvation. Put aside your anger against us once more. |
| 5Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger to all generations? | 5Will you be angry with us always? Will you prolong your wrath to all generations? |
| 6Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? | 6Won’t you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you? |
| 7Show us your steadfast love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation. | 7Show us your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation. |
| 8Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly. | 8I listen carefully to what God the LORD is saying, for he speaks peace to his faithful people. But let them not return to their foolish ways. |
| 9Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. | 9Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, so our land will be filled with his glory. |
| 10Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other. | 10Unfailing love and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed! |
| 11Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky. | 11Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness smiles down from heaven. |
| 12Yes, the LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase. | 12Yes, the LORD pours down his blessings. Our land will yield its bountiful harvest. |
| 13Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way. | 13Righteousness goes as a herald before him, preparing the way for his steps. |
