NET Bible | New Living Translation |
1For the music director; written by the Korahites, a psalm. O LORD, you showed favor to your land; you restored the well-being of Jacob. | 1LORD, you poured out blessings on your land! You restored the fortunes of Israel. |
2You pardoned the wrongdoing of your people; you forgave all their sin. (Selah) | 2You forgave the guilt of your people— yes, you covered all their sins. Interlude |
3You withdrew all your fury; you turned back from your raging anger. | 3You held back your fury. You kept back your blazing anger. |
4Restore us, O God our deliverer! Do not be displeased with us! | 4Now restore us again, O God of our salvation. Put aside your anger against us once more. |
5Will you stay mad at us forever? Will you remain angry throughout future generations? | 5Will you be angry with us always? Will you prolong your wrath to all generations? |
6Will you not revive us once more? Then your people will rejoice in you! | 6Won’t you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you? |
7O LORD, show us your loyal love! Bestow on us your deliverance! | 7Show us your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation. |
8I will listen to what God the LORD says. For he will make peace with his people, his faithful followers. Yet they must not return to their foolish ways. | 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. |
9Certainly his loyal followers will soon experience his deliverance; then his splendor will again appear in our land. | 9Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, so our land will be filled with his glory. |
10Loyal love and faithfulness meet; deliverance and peace greet each other with a kiss. | 10Unfailing love and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed! |
11Faithfulness grows from the ground, and deliverance looks down from the sky. | 11Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness smiles down from heaven. |
12Yes, the LORD will bestow his good blessings, and our land will yield its crops. | 12Yes, the LORD pours down his blessings. Our land will yield its bountiful harvest. |
13Deliverance goes before him, and prepares a pathway for him. | 13Righteousness goes as a herald before him, preparing the way for his steps. |
