| 1To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. | 1LORD you have favored your land and restored the fortunes of Jacob. |
| 2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. | 2You took away the iniquity of your people, forgiving all their sins Interlude |
| 3Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. | 3You withdrew all your wrath and turned away from your burning anger. |
| 4Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. | 4Restore us, God of our salvation, and stop being angry with us. |
| 5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? | 5Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger from generation to generation? |
| 6Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? | 6Will you restore our lives again so that your people may rejoice in you? |
| 7Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. | 7LORD, show your gracious love and deliver us. |
| 8I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. | 8Let me listen to what God, the LORD, says; for the LORD will promise peace to his people, to his holy ones; may they not return to foolishness. |
| 9Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. | 9Surely, he will soon deliver those who fear him, for his glory will live in our land. |
| 10Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. | 10Gracious love and truth meet; righteousness and peace kiss. |
| 11Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. | 11Truth sprouts up from the ground, while righteousness looks down from the sky. |
| 12Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. | 12The LORD will also provide what is good, and our land will yield its produce. |
| 13Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps. | 13Righteousness will go before him to prepare a path for his steps. |
