1Unto the End. Of the Sons of Shaven. A Psalm.

2You showed favor to Your land, O He-Who-Is; You restored Heel-Grabber from captivity.

3You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin. Selah

4You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.

5Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.

6Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?

7Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?

8Show us Your loving devotion, O He-Who-Is, and grant us Your salvation.

9I will listen to what God He-Who-Is will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His devoted ones; He will not let them return to folly.

10Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.

11Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.

12Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.

13He-Who-Is will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.

14Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.
