To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1 Lord, you were favorable to your land;
you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
you covered all their sin. Selah
you turned from your hot anger.
and put away your indignation toward us!
Will you prolong your anger to all generations?
that your people may rejoice in you?
and grant us your salvation.
for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints;
but let them not turn back to folly.
that glory may dwell in our land.
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
and righteousness looks down from the sky.
and our land will yield its increase.
and make his footsteps a way.
