## 📜 Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
#### For the music director, written by the Korahites, a psalm.
[[#Verse 01.]] O Lord, you showed favor to your land;
you restored the well-being of Jacob.
[[#Verse 02.]] You pardoned the wrongdoing of your people;
you forgave all their sin. (Selah)
[[#Verse 03.]] You withdrew all your fury;
you turned back from your raging anger.
[[#Verse 04.]] Restore us, O God our deliverer.
Do not be displeased with us.
[[#Verse 05.]] Will you stay mad at us forever?
Will you remain angry throughout future generations?
[[#Verse 06.]] Will you not revive us once more?
Then your people will rejoice in you.
[[#Verse 07.]] O Lord, show us your loyal love.
Bestow on us your deliverance.
[[#Verse 08.]] I will listen to what God the Lord says.
For he will make peace with his people, his faithful followers.
Yet they must not return to their foolish ways.
[[#Verse 09.]] Certainly his loyal followers will soon experience his deliverance;
then his splendor will again appear in our land.
[[#Verse 10.]] Loyal love and faithfulness meet;
deliverance and peace greet each other with a kiss.
[[#Verse 11.]] Faithfulness grows from the ground,
and deliverance looks down from the sky.
[[#Verse 12.]] Yes, the Lord will bestow his good blessings,
and our land will yield its crops.
[[#Verse 13.]] Deliverance goes before him,
and prepares a pathway for him.
