Turn Us Back, O God
For the choir director. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.
O Yahweh, You showed afavor to Your land;
You breturned the fortunes of Jacob.
2 You aforgave the iniquity of Your people;
You bcovered all their sin. Selah.
3 You awithdrew all Your fury;
You bturned back from Your burning anger.
4 aTurn us back, O God of our salvation,
And bcause Your vexation toward us to cease.
5 Will aYou be angry with us forever?
Will You prolong Your anger from generation to generation?
6 Will You not Yourself areturn to revive us,
That Your people may bbe glad in You?
7 Show us, O Yahweh, Your lovingkindness,
And agive us Your salvation.
8 Let me hear what the God, Yahweh, will speak;
For He will aspeak peace to His people, to His holy ones;
But let them not bturn back to folly.
9 Surely aHis salvation is near to those who fear Him,
That bglory may dwell in our land.
10 aLovingkindness and truth have met together;
bRighteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Truth asprings up from the earth,
And righteousness looks down from heaven.
12 Indeed, aYahweh will give what is good,
And our bland will yield its produce.
13 aRighteousness will go before Him
And will establish the way of His steps.
