King James BibleNew Living Translation
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 poured out blessings on your land! You restored the fortunes of Israel.
2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.2You forgave the guilt of your people— yes, you covered all their sins. Interlude
3Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.3You held back your fury. You kept back your blazing anger.
4Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.4Now restore us again, O God of our salvation. Put aside your anger against us once more.
5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?5Will you be angry with us always? Will you prolong your wrath to all generations?
6Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?6Won’t you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you?
7Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.7Show us your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.
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.8I listen carefully to what God the LORD is saying, for he speaks peace to his faithful people. But let them not return to their foolish ways.
9Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.9Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, so our land will be filled with his glory.
10Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.10Unfailing love and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed!
11Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.11Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness smiles down from heaven.
12Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.12Yes, the LORD pours down his blessings. Our land will yield its bountiful harvest.
13Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.13Righteousness goes as a herald before him, preparing the way for his steps.
