You have shown favor to your land

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 for all time? 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!
