 Restore us then, O God our Savior; * let your anger depart from us.

Will you be displeased with us for ever? * will you prolong your anger from age to age?

Will you not give us life again, * that your people may rejoice in you?

Show us your mercy, O, * and grant us your salvation.

I will listen to what the God is saying, * for he is speaking peace to his faithful people and to those who turn their hearts to him.

Truly, his salvation is very near to those who fear him, * that his glory may dwell in our land.

Mercy and truth have met together; * righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Truth shall spring up from the earth, * and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

The will indeed grant prosperity, * and our land will yield its increase.

Righteousness shall go before him, * and peace shall be a pathway for his feet.

Bow down your ear, O, and answer me, * for I am poor and in misery.
