1Yahweh, you have been favorable to your land.
You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2You have forgiven the iniquity of your people.
You have covered all their sin.
Selah.
3You have taken away all your wrath.
You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.
4Turn us, God of our salvation,
and cause your indignation toward us to cease.
5Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
6Won’t you revive us again,
that your people may rejoice in you?
7Show us your loving kindness, Yahweh.
Grant us your salvation.
8I will hear what God, Yahweh, will speak,
for he will speak peace to his people, his saints;
but let them not turn again to folly.
9Surely his salvation is near those who fear him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
10Mercy and truth meet together.
Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11Truth springs out of the earth.
Righteousness has looked down from heaven.
12Yes, Yahweh will give that which is good.
Our land will yield its increase.
13Righteousness goes before him,
And prepares the way for his steps.
1Hear, Yahweh, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
2Preserve my soul, for I am godly.
You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
3Be merciful to me, Lord,
for I call to you all day long.
4Bring joy to the soul of your servant,
for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive;
abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.
6Hear, Yahweh, my prayer.
Listen to the voice of my petitions.
7In the day of my trouble I will call on you,
for you will answer me.
8There is no one like you among the gods, Lord,
nor any deeds like your deeds.
9All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord.
They shall glorify your name.
10For you are great, and do wondrous things.
You are God alone.
11Teach me your way, Yahweh.
I will walk in your truth.
Make my heart undivided to fear your name.
12I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart.
I will glorify your name forever more.
13For your loving kindness is great toward me.
You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
14God, the proud have risen up against me.
A company of violent men have sought after my soul,
and they don’t hold regard for you before them.
15But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God,
slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
16Turn to me, and have mercy on me!
Give your strength to your servant.
Save the son of your servant.
17Show me a sign of your goodness,
that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed,
because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me.
