Prayer for God’s Mercy upon the Nation.

1LordH3068, You showedH7521 1favorH7521 to Your landH776; You 2restoredH7521 the fortunesH7622 of JacobH3290.2You 3forgaveH5375 the guiltH5771 of Your peopleH5971; You 4coveredH3680 allH3605 their sinH2403. SelahH55423You 5withdrewH622 allH3605 Your furyH5678; You 6turnedH7725 awayH7725 from Your burningH2740 angerH639.

4 7RestoreH7725 us, GodH430 of our salvationH3468, And 8cause Your indignationH3708 towardH5973 us to ceaseH6565.5Will 9You be angryH599 with us foreverH5769? Will You prolongH4900 Your angerH639 to 10allH1755 generationsH1755?6Will You not 11 12reviveH2421 us againH7725, So that Your peopleH5971 may 13rejoiceH8055 in You?7ShowH7200 us Your mercyH2617, LordH3068, And 14grantH5414 us Your salvationH3468.

8 15I will hearH8085 whatH4100 GodH410 the LordH3068 will sayH1696; For He will 16speakH1696 peaceH7965 to His peopleH5971, to His godlyH2623 onesH2623; And may they not 17turnH7725 backH7725 to 18foolishnessH3690.9CertainlyH389 19His salvationH3468 is nearH7138 to those who 20fearH3372 Him, That 21gloryH3519 may dwellH7931 in our landH776.10 22GraciousnessH2617 and 23truthH571 have metH6298 together; 24RighteousnessH6664 and peaceH7965 have kissedH5401 each other.11 25TruthH571 26sproutsH6779 from the earthH776, And righteousnessH6664 looksH8259 downH8259 from heavenH8064.12IndeedH1571, 27the LordH3068 will giveH5414 whatH2896 isH2896 goodH2896, And our 28landH776 will yieldH5414 its produceH2981.13 29RighteousnessH6664 will goH1980 beforeH6440 Him And will makeH7760 His footstepsH6471 into a wayH1870.
