1לַמְנַצֵּחַ לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מִזְמֽוֹרFor the leader. Of the Korahites. A psalm.
2רָצִיתָ יְהֹוָה אַרְצֶךָ שַׁבְתָּ (שבות) [שְׁבִית] יַעֲקֹֽבO ETERNAL One, You will favor Your land, restore Jacob’s fortune;
3נָשָׂאתָ עֲוֺן עַמֶּךָ כִּסִּיתָ כׇל־חַטָּאתָם סֶֽלָהYou will forgive Your people’s iniquity, pardon all their sins; selah
4אָסַפְתָּ כׇל־עֶבְרָתֶךָ הֱשִׁיבוֹתָ מֵחֲרוֹן אַפֶּֽךָYou will withdraw all Your anger, turn away from Your rage.
5שׁוּבֵנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֵנוּ וְהָפֵר כַּעַסְךָ עִמָּֽנוּTurn again, O God, our helper, revoke Your displeasure with us.
6הַלְעוֹלָם תֶּאֱנַף־בָּנוּ תִּמְשֹׁךְ אַפְּךָ לְדֹר וָדֹֽרWill You be angry with us forever, prolong Your wrath for all generations?
7הֲֽלֹא־אַתָּה תָּשׁוּב תְּחַיֵּנוּ וְעַמְּךָ יִשְׂמְחוּ־בָֽךְSurely You will revive us again, so that Your people may rejoice in You.
8הַרְאֵנוּ יְהֹוָה חַסְדֶּךָ וְיֶשְׁעֲךָ תִּתֶּן־לָֽנוּShow us, O ETERNAL One, Your faithfulness; grant us Your deliverance.
9אֶשְׁמְעָה מַה־יְדַבֵּר הָאֵל יְהֹוָה כִּי יְדַבֵּר שָׁלוֹם אֶל־עַמּוֹ וְאֶל־חֲסִידָיו וְאַל־יָשׁוּבוּ לְכִסְלָֽהLet me hear what God, the ETERNAL, will speak, as a promise of well-being to the faithful ones—this people; may they not turn to folly.
10אַךְ קָרוֹב לִירֵאָיו יִשְׁעוֹ לִשְׁכֹּן כָּבוֹד בְּאַרְצֵֽנוּHelp is very near those who show reverence, to make God’s glory dwell in our land.
11חֶסֶד־וֶאֱמֶת נִפְגָּשׁוּ צֶדֶק וְשָׁלוֹם נָשָֽׁקוּFaithfulness and truth meet; justice and well-being kiss.
12אֱמֶת מֵאֶרֶץ תִּצְמָח וְצֶדֶק מִשָּׁמַיִם נִשְׁקָֽףTruth springs up from the earth; justice looks down from heaven.
13גַּם־יְהֹוָה יִתֵּן הַטּוֹב וְאַרְצֵנוּ תִּתֵּן יְבוּלָֽהּGOD also bestows bounty; our land yields its produce.
14צֶדֶק לְפָנָיו יְהַלֵּךְ וְיָשֵׂם לְדֶרֶךְ פְּעָמָֽיוJustice walks in front as [God] sets out on the way.
