   Return from captivity foretold--Reign of righteousness.
   To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
   1 Lord, thou has been favorable unto thy land; thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
   
2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
   
3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
   
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
   
5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
   
6 Wilt thou not revive us again; that thy people may rejoice in thee?
   
7 Show us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.
   
8 I 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.
   
9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
   
10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
   
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
   
12 Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
   
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
