A Prayer for National Restoration

1You showed favor, Yahweh, to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.

2You took away the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin. Selah.

3You gathered in all your wrath; you turned back from the heat of your anger.

4Restore us, God of our salvation, and put away your vexation with us.

5Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger to generation after generation?

6Will you not turn again and revive us, that your people may rejoice in you?

7Show us your loyal love, Yahweh, and grant us your salvation.

Righteousness and Peace Will Kiss

8Let me hear what the God Yahweh will speak, for he will speak peace to his people and to his faithful ones — but let them not turn back to folly.

9Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

10Loyal love and faithfulness have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed.

11Faithfulness springs up from the earth, and righteousness looks down from the heavens.

12Yahweh himself will give what is good, and our land will yield its produce.

13Righteousness will go before him and will set his footsteps on the way.
