¹ You, Lord, showed favor to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob. ² You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins. ³ You set aside all your wrath and turned from your fierce anger. ⁴ Restore us again, God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us. ⁵ Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through all generations? ⁶ Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? ⁷ Show us your unfailing love, Lord, and grant us your salvation. ⁸ I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants— but let them not turn to folly.
