1Thou hast been favourable, Jehovah, unto thy land; thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob:2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.3Thou hast withdrawn all thy wrath; thou hast turned from the fierceness of thine anger.4Bring us back, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease.5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger from generation to generation?6Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?7Shew us thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy salvation.8I will hear what *God, Jehovah, will speak; for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his godly ones: but let them not turn again to folly.9Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.10Loving-kindness and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other:11Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from the heavens.12Jehovah also will give what is good, and our land shall yield its increase.13Righteousness shall go before him, and shall set his footsteps on the way.

A Prayer of David.1Incline thine ear, Jehovah, answer me; for I am afflicted and needy.2Keep my soul, for I am godly; O thou my God, save thy servant who confideth in thee.3Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I call all the day.4Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.6Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.7In the day of my distress I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.8Among the gods there is none like unto thee, Lord, and there is nothing like unto thy works.9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name.10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God, thou alone.11Teach me thy way, Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.13For great is thy loving-kindness toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.14O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assembly of the violent seek after my soul, and they have not set thee before them.15But thou, Lord, art a *God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.16Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.17Shew me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed; for thou, Jehovah, hast helped me and comforted me.

Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song.1His foundation is in the mountains of holiness.2Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion more than all the habitations of Jacob.3Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon among them that know me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: this man was born there.5And of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her.6Jehovah will count, when he inscribeth the peoples, This man was born there. Selah.7As well the singers as the dancers shall say, All my springs are in thee.
