1 To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned `to' the captivity of Jacob.

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ׀ לִבְנֵי־קֹ֬רַח מִזְמֹֽור׃

2 Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

2 רָצִ֣יתָ יְהוָ֣ה אַרְצֶ֑ךָ בְתָּ שְׁבוּת שְׁבִ֣ית יַעֲקֹֽב׃

3 Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.

3 נָ֭שָׂאתָ עֲוֹ֣ן עַמֶּ֑ךָ כִּסִּ֖יתָ כָל־חַטָּאתָ֣ם סֶֽלָה׃

4 Turn back `to' us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.

4 אָסַ֥פְתָּ כָל־עֶבְרָתֶ֑ךָ הֱ֝שִׁיבֹ֗ותָ מֵחֲרֹ֥ון אַפֶּֽךָ׃

5 To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?

5 וּבֵנוּ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעֵ֑נוּ וְהָפֵ֖ר כַּֽעַסְךָ֣ עִמָּֽנוּ׃

6 Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.

6 הַלְעֹולָ֥ם תֶּֽאֱנַף־בָּ֑נוּ תִּמְשֹׁ֥ךְ אַ֝פְּךָ֗ לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃

7 Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.

7 הֲֽלֹא־אַ֭תָּה תָּשׁ֣וּב תְּחַיֵּ֑נוּ וְ֝עַמְּךָ֗ יִשְׂמְחוּ־בָֽךְ׃

8 I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.

8 הַרְאֵ֣נוּ יְהוָ֣ה חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝יֶשְׁעֲךָ֗ תִּתֶּן־לָֽנוּ׃

9 Only, near to those fearing Him `is' His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.

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

10 Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,

10 אַ֤ךְ׀ קָרֹ֣וב לִירֵאָ֣יו יִשְׁעֹ֑ו לִשְׁכֹּ֖ן כָּבֹ֣וד בְּאַרְצֵֽנוּ׃

11 Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,

11 חֶֽסֶד־וֶאֱמֶ֥ת נִפְגָּ֑שׁוּ צֶ֖דֶק וְשָׁלֹ֣ום נָשָֽׁקוּ׃

12 Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.

12 אֱ֭מֶת מֵאֶ֣רֶץ תִּצְמָ֑ח וְ֝צֶ֗דֶק מִשָּׁמַ֥יִם נִשְׁקָֽף׃

13 Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!

13 גַּם־יְ֭הוָה יִתֵּ֣ן הַטֹּ֑וב וְ֝אַרְצֵ֗נוּ תִּתֵּ֥ן יְבוּלָֽהּ׃
