The Lord will be good to us
Tell the leader of the choir that this song is a Psalm of the Korah group.
1Lord, You were good to your land.
You blessed the descendants
of Jacob and brought them back again.
2You forgave the sins
that your people had done.
You took away everything that they did wrong. Selah
3You were not angry with them anymore,
and You did not want to punish them anymore.
4O God, You are our Saviour.
Please be good to us again
and don't be angry with us.
5Are You always going
to stay angry with us?
Will You be angry with all the
generations that will come later?
6Please give us new life
so that your people
can rejoice because we belong to You.
7Lord, please show us your love
that never changes and save us again.
8I will listen to what the Lord God says,
because He will give peace to his people.
He will be with the people
who believe in Him,
and those who don't turn away from Him
to do foolish things again.
9This is sure, God will come quickly
to save the people who fear Him
and the people in the land will see his glory.
10The Lord will give his love
and faithfulness to his people.
He will give them
his righteousness and peace.
11The people on earth
will be faithful to the Lord
and his righteousness will shine
down on them from heaven.
12Yes, the Lord will be good to his people
and there will be a lot of fruit
and food in the land.
13The people will see
the righteousness of the Lord
and He will make people follow Him.
