Selah. ^2 3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned _thyself_ from the fierceness of thine anger. ^3 4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. ^4 5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? ^5 6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? ^6 7 Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. ^7 8 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 again to folly. ^8 9 Surely his salvation _is_ nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. ^9 10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed _each_ _other_. ^10 11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. ^11 12 Yea, the LORD shall give _that_ _which_ _is_ good; and our land shall yield her increase. ^12 13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set _us_ in the way of his steps. ^13
