For the Leader. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
א׳לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ ׀ לִבְנֵי־קֹ֬רַח מִזְמֽוֹר׃
2
LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto Thy land, Thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob.
ב׳רָצִ֣יתָ יְהוָ֣ה אַרְצֶ֑ךָ שַׁ֝֗בְתָּ שבות שְׁבִ֣ית יַעֲקֹֽב׃
3
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast pardoned all their sin. Selah .
ג׳נָ֭שָׂאתָ עֲוֺ֣ן עַמֶּ֑ךָ כִּסִּ֖יתָ כָל־חַטָּאתָ֣ם סֶֽלָה׃
4
Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger.
ד׳אָסַ֥פְתָּ כָל־עֶבְרָתֶ֑ךָ הֱ֝שִׁיב֗וֹתָ מֵחֲר֥וֹן אַפֶּֽךָ׃
5
Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Thine indignation toward us to cease.
ה׳שׁ֭וּבֵנוּ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעֵ֑נוּ וְהָפֵ֖ר כַּֽעַסְךָ֣ עִמָּֽנוּ׃
6
Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations?
ו׳הַלְעוֹלָ֥ם תֶּֽאֱנַף־בָּ֑נוּ תִּמְשֹׁ֥ךְ אַ֝פְּךָ֗ לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃
7
Wilt Thou not quicken us again, That Thy people may rejoice in Thee?
ז׳הֽ͏ֲלֹא־אַ֭תָּה תָּשׁ֣וּב תְּחַיֵּ֑נוּ וְ֝עַמְּךָ֗ יִשְׂמְחוּ־בָֽךְ׃
8
Show us Thy mercy, O LORD, And grant us Thy salvation.
ח׳הַרְאֵ֣נוּ יְהוָ֣ה חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝יֶשְׁעֲךָ֗ תִּתֶּן־לָֽנוּ׃
9
I will hear what God the LORD will speak; For He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; But let them not turn back to folly.
ט׳אֶשְׁמְעָ֗ה מַה־יְדַבֵּר֮ הָאֵ֢ל ׀ יְה֫וָ֥ה כִּ֤י ׀ יְדַבֵּ֬ר שָׁל֗וֹם אֶל־עַמּ֥וֹ וְאֶל־חֲסִידָ֑יו וְֽאַל־יָשׁ֥וּבוּ לְכִסְלָֽה׃
10
Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him; That glory may dwell in our land.
י׳אַ֤ךְ ׀ קָר֣וֹב לִירֵאָ֣יו יִשְׁע֑וֹ לִשְׁכֹּ֖ן כָּב֣וֹד בְּאַרְצֵֽנוּ׃
11
Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
י״אחֶֽסֶד־וֶאֱמֶ֥ת נִפְגָּ֑שׁוּ צֶ֖דֶק וְשָׁל֣וֹם נָשָֽׁקוּ׃
12
Truth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.
י״באֱ֭מֶת מֵאֶ֣רֶץ תִּצְמָ֑ח וְ֝צֶ֗דֶק מִשָּׁמַ֥יִם נִשְׁקָֽף׃
13
Yea, the LORD will give that which is good; And our land shall yield her produce.
י״גגַּם־יְ֭הוָה יִתֵּ֣ן הַטּ֑וֹב וְ֝אַרְצֵ֗נוּ תִּתֵּ֥ן יְבוּלָֽהּ׃
14
Righteousness shall go before Him, And shall make His footsteps a way.
י״דצֶ֭דֶק לְפָנָ֣יו יְהַלֵּ֑ךְ וְיָשֵׂ֖ם לְדֶ֣רֶךְ פְּעָמָֽיו׃
