[1] Yahweh, you have been favorable to your land.    You have restored the
fortunes of Jacob. [2] You have forgiven the iniquity of your people.	
You have covered all their sin. Selah. [3] You have taken away all your
wrath.	  You have turned from the fierceness of your anger. [4] Turn us,
God of our salvation,	 And cause your indignation toward us to cease. [5]
Will you be angry with us forever?    Will you draw out your anger to all
generations? [6] Won`t you revive us again,    That your people may rejoice
in you? [7] Show us your lovingkindness, Yahweh.    Grant us your
salvation. [8] I will hear what God, Yahweh, will speak,    For he will
speak peace to his people, his saints;	  But let them not turn again to
folly. [9] Surely his salvation is near those who fear him,    That glory
may dwell in our land. [10] Mercy and truth meet together.    Righteousness
and peace have kissed each other. [11] Truth springs out of the earth.	 
Righteousness has looked down from heaven. [12] Yes, Yahweh will give that
which is good.	  Our land will yield its increase. [13] Righteousness goes
before him,    And prepares the way for his steps.	Psalm 86       A
Prayer by David.
