O Lord, you have been favorable to your land.
Psalms
1 The Psalmist, out of the experience of former mercies, prays for continuance thereof, 8 He promises to wait thereon, out of confidence of God's goodness
Jer 30:18;Eze 39:25 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
Hab 3:26 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.
Hab 2:1;Zec 8:10;2 Pet 2:20 8 ¶ 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.
9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
Joh 14:27;Luk 2:14;Isa 32:17 10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Isa 45:8;2 Cor 5:14-21 11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
Jam 1:1712 Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
