1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. You have accepted, O YHWH, Your land, || You have turned to the captivity of Jacob. 2 You have carried away the iniquity of Your people, || You have covered all their sin. Selah. 3 You have gathered up all Your wrath, || You have turned back from the fierceness of Your anger. 4 Turn back to us, O God of our salvation, || And make void Your anger with us. 5 Are You angry against us to a distant age? Do You draw out Your anger || To generation and generation? 6 Do You not turn back? You revive us, || And Your people rejoice in You. 7 Show us, O YHWH, your kindness, || And You give to us Your salvation. 8 I hear what God, YHWH, speaks, || For He speaks peace to His people, || And to His saints, and they do not turn back to folly. 9 Surely His salvation is near to those fearing Him, || That glory may dwell in our land. 10 Kindness and truth have met, || Righteousness and peace have kissed, 11 Truth springs up from the earth, || And righteousness looks out from the heavens, 12 YHWH also gives that which is good, || And our land gives its increase. 13 Righteousness goes before Him, || And makes a way for His footsteps!
