1 Lord, thou art become gracious | 3 unto thy | land; ||

thou hast turned a- | way • the cap- | tivi•ty of | Jacob. ||

2 Thou hast forgiven the of- | 3 fence of • thy | people, ||

and | covered | all their | sins. ||

3 Thou hast taken away | 3 all thy • dis- | pleasure, ||

and turned thyself from thy | wrathful | indig- | nation. ||

4 Turn us then, O | God our | Saviour, ||

3 and | let thine | anger | cease • from us. ||

5 Wilt thou be dis- | pleased at • us for | ever? ||

and wilt thou stretch out thy wrath from | one • gener- | ation • to an- | other? ||

6 Wilt thou not turn again, and quicken us, * that thy | people • may re- | joice in • thee? ||

7 Show us thy mercy, O Lord, and | grant us | thy sal- | vation. ||

8 I will hearken what the Lord God will | say con- | cerning • me; ||

for he shall speak peace unto his people, and to his | saints, • that they | turn • not a- | gain. ||

for he shall speak peace unto his people, and to his saints, that they | turn • not a- | gain • unto | foolish•ness. ||

9 For his salvation is | 3 nigh them • that | fear him; ||

that | 3 glory may | 3 dwell in • our | land. ||

10 Mercy and | truth are • met to- | gether: ||

3 righteous- | ness and | peace have | kissed each • other. ||

11 Truth shall | flourish • out of the | earth, ||

and | righteous•ness hath | 3 looked down • from | heaven. ||

12 Yea, the Lord shall show | loving- | kindness; ||

and our | land shall | give her | increase. ||

13 Righteousness shall | go be- | fore him, ||

and he shall di- | rect his | going • in the | way. ||
