1 {To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.} Thou hast been favourable, Jehovah, unto thy land; thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob:

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ׀ לִבְנֵי־קֹ֬רַח מִזְמֹֽור׃

2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

2 רָצִ֣יתָ יְהוָ֣ה אַרְצֶ֑ךָ בְתָּ שְׁבוּת שְׁבִ֣ית יַעֲקֹֽב׃

3 Thou hast withdrawn all thy wrath; thou hast turned from the fierceness of thine anger.

3 נָ֭שָׂאתָ עֲוֹ֣ן עַמֶּ֑ךָ כִּסִּ֖יתָ כָל־חַטָּאתָ֣ם סֶֽלָה׃

4 Bring us back, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease.

4 אָסַ֥פְתָּ כָל־עֶבְרָתֶ֑ךָ הֱ֝שִׁיבֹ֗ותָ מֵחֲרֹ֥ון אַפֶּֽךָ׃

5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger from generation to generation?

5 וּבֵנוּ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעֵ֑נוּ וְהָפֵ֖ר כַּֽעַסְךָ֣ עִמָּֽנוּ׃

6 Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

6 הַלְעֹולָ֥ם תֶּֽאֱנַף־בָּ֑נוּ תִּמְשֹׁ֥ךְ אַ֝פְּךָ֗ לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃

7 Shew us thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy salvation.

7 הֲֽלֹא־אַ֭תָּה תָּשׁ֣וּב תְּחַיֵּ֑נוּ וְ֝עַמְּךָ֗ יִשְׂמְחוּ־בָֽךְ׃

8 I will hear what ùGod, Jehovah, will speak; for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his godly ones: but let them not turn again to folly.

8 הַרְאֵ֣נוּ יְהוָ֣ה חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝יֶשְׁעֲךָ֗ תִּתֶּן־לָֽנוּ׃

9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

9 אֶשְׁמְעָ֗ה מַה־יְדַבֵּר֮ הָאֵ֪ל׀ יְה֫וָ֥ה כִּ֤י׀ יְדַבֵּ֬ר שָׁלֹ֗ום אֶל־עַמֹּ֥ו וְאֶל־חֲסִידָ֑יו וְֽאַל־יָשׁ֥וּבוּ לְכִסְלָֽה׃

10 Loving-kindness and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other:

10 אַ֤ךְ׀ קָרֹ֣וב לִירֵאָ֣יו יִשְׁעֹ֑ו לִשְׁכֹּ֖ן כָּבֹ֣וד בְּאַרְצֵֽנוּ׃

11 Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from the heavens.

11 חֶֽסֶד־וֶאֱמֶ֥ת נִפְגָּ֑שׁוּ צֶ֖דֶק וְשָׁלֹ֣ום נָשָֽׁקוּ׃

12 Jehovah also will give what is good, and our land shall yield its increase.

12 אֱ֭מֶת מֵאֶ֣רֶץ תִּצְמָ֑ח וְ֝צֶ֗דֶק מִשָּׁמַ֥יִם נִשְׁקָֽף׃

13 Righteousness shall go before him, and shall set his footsteps on the way.

13 גַּם־יְ֭הוָה יִתֵּ֣ן הַטֹּ֑וב וְ֝אַרְצֵ֗נוּ תִּתֵּ֥ן יְבוּלָֽהּ׃
