1Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
1LORD, you have shown favor to your land; you have restored the fortunes of the descendants of Jacob.
2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; Thou hast covered all their sin. [Selah
2You have forgiven the guilt of your people; you have covered all their sins.
3Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; Thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
3You have held back all your fury; you have turned away from your burning anger.
4Turn us, O God of our salvation, And cause thine indignation toward us to cease.
4Restore us again, O God our Savior, and put away your resentment toward us.
5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
5Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through every generation?
6Wilt thou not quicken us again, That thy people may rejoice in thee?
6Won’t you revive us again, so that your people can find joy in you?
7Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, And grant us thy salvation.
7Show us your faithful love, LORD, and give us your salvation.
8I will hear what God Jehovah will speak; For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: But let them not turn again to folly.
8I will listen to what God the LORD says; he promises peace to his people and to his faithful ones—but they must not go back to their foolish ways.
9Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.
9Surely his salvation is near to those who honor him, so that his glory may live in our land.
10Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
10Unfailing love and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11Truth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.
11Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
