1  To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah.
2 Lord, you were good to your land: changing the fate of Jacob.
3 The wrongdoing of your people had forgiveness; all their sin had been covered. (Selah.)
4 You were no longer angry: you were turned from the heat of your wrath.
5 Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.
6 Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?
7 Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?
