To the conductor. To the sons of Korah. A melody.1You accepted your land, O the LORD; you restored the captivity of Jacob.2You lifted the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin. Selah.3You gathered all your fury; you turned back from the burning anger of your face.4Return us, O God of our salvation, and break your vexation with us.5Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw your face across generation after generation?6Will you not return and revive us, so that your people may rejoice in you?7Show us your kindness, O the LORD, and grant us your salvation.8I will hear what the God, the LORD, speaks, for he speaks peace to his people and to his pious ones, and let them not return to folly.9Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.10Kindness and truth have met; righteousness and peace have kissed.11Truth springs from the land, and righteousness looks down from heaven.12Also the LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its crops.13Righteousness walks before him and sets a way for his feet.
