For the leader. Of the Korahites, a psalm. Once, Lord, you did favour your land, granting change of fortune to Jacob,

forgiving the guilt of your people, pardoning all their sin, (Selah)
3 Mitigasti omnem iram tuam: avertisti ab ira indignationis tuæ.

4 Converte nos Deus salutaris noster: et averte iram tuam a nobis.

5 Numquid in æternum irasceris nobis? aut extendes iram tuam a generatione in generationem?
Will you cherish your anger against us forever, prolonging your wrath to all generations?
6 Deus tu conversus vivificabis nos: et plebs tua lætabitur in te.
Will you not revive us again, that your people may be glad in you?
7 Ostende nobis Domine misericordiam tuam: et salutare tuum da nobis.

Let me hear what God the Lord will speak; for he will speak of peace to his people, to those who love him, and turn their hearts to him.
9 Verumtamen prope timentes eum salutare ipsius: ut inhabitet gloria in terra nostra.
Soon those who fear him shall see how he saves, and glory shall live in our land.
10 Misericordia, et veritas obviaverunt sibi: iustitia, et pax osculatæ sunt.
Kindness and loyalty meet; peace and righteousness kiss.
11 Veritas de terra orta est: et iustitia de cælo prospexit.
Loyalty springs from the earth; righteousness looks from the sky.
12 Etenim Dominus dabit benignitatem: et terra nostra dabit fructum suum.
The Lord shall give all that is good, our land yielding its increase,
13 Iustitia ante eum ambulabit: et ponet in via gressus suos.
righteousness marching before him, and peace on the path he treads.
