Faithful love and truth have met

Lord, you've been good to your land. You've brought Jacob back from where he'd been taken. You've forgiven your people's wrongdoing; you've covered all their sin. Selah. You've taken away all your fury. You've turned back from the heat of your anger. Bring us back, God of our salvation, and make your anger with us stop. Will you be angry with us forever? Will you stretch your anger out from one generation to the next? Won't you bring us back to life again, so your people can be glad in you? Show us your mercy, Lord, and give us your salvation. I'll listen to what God the LORD says. Because he'll speak peace to his people and to his faithful ones — but don't let them turn again to folly. His salvation is surely near to those who fear him, so glory can live in our land. Faithful love and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed. Truth will spring up out of the earth, and righteousness will look down from heaven. The LORD will give what's good too, and our land will give its harvest. Righteousness will go before him and set us on the way of his steps.

Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
