O Lord, thou hast taken pleasure in thy land: thou hast turned back the captivity of Jacob. Thou hast forgiven thy people their transgressions; thou hast covered all their sins. Pause. Thou hast caused all thy wrath to cease: thou hast turned from thy fierce anger.
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and turn thine anger away from us. Wouldest thou be angry with us for ever? or wilt thou continue thy wrath from generation to generation? O God, thou wilt turn and quicken us; and thy people shall rejoice in thee. Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.
I will hear what the Lord God will say concerning me: for he shall speak peace to his people, and to his saints, and to those that turn their heart toward him. Moreover his salvation is near them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth has sprung out of the earth; and righteousness has looked down from heaven. For the Lord will give goodness; and our land shall yield her fruit. Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set his steps in the way.
