You, Lord, showed favor to Your land
You restored the fortunes of Jacob so they could win
You forgave the iniquity of Your people
And covered all their sins

You set aside all Your wrath
And turned from Your fierce anger
Restore us again, our Lord
And put away Your displeasure toward us, God our Savior

Will You be angry with us forever?
Will You prolong Your anger through all generations?
Will you not revive us again
That Your people may rejoice in You as we are Your chosen nation?
Show us Your unfailing love, Lord
And grant us Your salvation

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
And let our enemies serve us

Surely His salvation is near those who fear Him
That His glory may dwell in our land
Love and faithfulness meet together
Righteousness and peace kiss each other under His mighty hand

Faithfulness springs forth from the earth
And righteousness looks down from heaven
The Lord will indeed give what is good
The Lord will indeed give good things to have them

And our land will yield its harvest
Righteousness goes before our God
And prepares the way for His steps
And His people praise the Lord
