For the leader. Of the Korahites. A psalm.

O ETERNAL One, You will favorawill favor Or “have favored.” Your land,restorebrestore Or “have restored.” Jacob’s fortune;

You will forgivecwill forgive Or “have forgiven.” Your people’s iniquity,pardondpardon Or “have pardoned.” all their sins;    selah

You will withdrawewill withdraw Or “have withdrawn.” all Your anger,turnfturn Or “have turned.” away from Your rage.

Turn again, O God, our helper,revoke Your displeasure with us.

Will You be angry with us forever,prolong Your wrath for all generations?

Surely You will revive us again,so that Your people may rejoice in You.

Show us, O ETERNAL One, Your faithfulness;grant us Your deliverance.

Let me hear what God, the ETERNAL, will speak,as a promise of well-being to the faithful ones—this people;may they not turn to folly.

Help is very near those who show reverence,to make God’s glory dwell in our land.

Faithfulness and truth meet;justice and well-being kiss.

Truth springs up from the earth;justice looks down from heaven.

GOD also bestows bounty;our land yields its produce.

Justice walks in frontas [God] sets out on the way.
