2The wrongdoing of your people had forgiveness; all their sin had been covered. (Selah.)
3You were no longer angry: you were turned from the heat of your wrath.
4Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.
5Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?
6Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?
7Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.
8I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.
9Truly, his salvation is near to his worshippers; so that glory may be in our land.
