₁LORD, you have been merciful to your land;

you have made Israel prosperous again.

₂You have forgiven your people's sins

and pardoned all their wrongs.

₈I am listening to what the LORD God is saying;

he promises peace to us, his own people,

if we do not go back to our foolish ways.

₉Surely he is ready to save those who honour him,

and his saving presence will remain in our land.

₁₀Love and faithfulness will meet;

righteousness and peace will embrace.

₁₁Human loyalty will reach up from the earth,

and God's righteousness will look down from heaven.

₁₂The LORD will make us prosperous,

and our land will produce rich harvests.

₁₃Righteousness will go before the LORD

and prepare the path for him.
