American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land;Thou hast {Or, returned to}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.
{Or, Turn to us}Turn us, O God of our salvation,And cause thine indignation toward us to cease.
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
Wilt thou not quicken us again,That thy people may rejoice in thee?
Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah,And grant us thy salvation.
I will hear what God Jehovah 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 springeth out of the earth;And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.
Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good;And our land shall yield its increase.
Righteousness shall go before him,And shall {Or, set us in the way of his steps.}make his footsteps a way to walk in.

And justice is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.
And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence for ever.
A Psalm of Solomon.Give the king thy judgments, O God,And thy righteousness unto the king's son.
{Or, Let him (and so throughout the Psalm)}He will judge thy people with righteousness,And thy poor with justice.
The mountains shall bring peace to the people,And the hills, in righteousness.
He will judge the poor of the people,He will save the children of the needy,And will break in pieces the oppressor.
They shall fear thee while the sun endureth,And {Hebrew: before the moon.}so long as the moon, throughout all generations.
He will come down like rain upon the mown grass,As showers that water the earth.
In his days shall the righteous flourish,And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.
