NET Bible | International Standard Version |
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. | 1LORD you have favored your land and restored the fortunes of Jacob. |
2You pardoned the wrongdoing of your people; you forgave all their sin. (Selah) | 2You took away the iniquity of your people, forgiving all their sins Interlude |
3You withdrew all your fury; you turned back from your raging anger. | 3You withdrew all your wrath and turned away from your burning anger. |
4Restore us, O God our deliverer! Do not be displeased with us! | 4Restore us, God of our salvation, and stop being angry with us. |
5Will you stay mad at us forever? Will you remain angry throughout future generations? | 5Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger from generation to generation? |
6Will you not revive us once more? Then your people will rejoice in you! | 6Will you restore our lives again so that your people may rejoice in you? |
7O LORD, show us your loyal love! Bestow on us your deliverance! | 7LORD, show your gracious love and deliver us. |
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. | 8Let me listen to what God, the LORD, says; for the LORD will promise peace to his people, to his holy ones; may they not return to foolishness. |
9Certainly his loyal followers will soon experience his deliverance; then his splendor will again appear in our land. | 9Surely, he will soon deliver those who fear him, for his glory will live in our land. |
10Loyal love and faithfulness meet; deliverance and peace greet each other with a kiss. | 10Gracious love and truth meet; righteousness and peace kiss. |
11Faithfulness grows from the ground, and deliverance looks down from the sky. | 11Truth sprouts up from the ground, while righteousness looks down from the sky. |
12Yes, the LORD will bestow his good blessings, and our land will yield its crops. | 12The LORD will also provide what is good, and our land will yield its produce. |
13Deliverance goes before him, and prepares a pathway for him. | 13Righteousness will go before him to prepare a path for his steps. |
