1  Lord, you were gracious to your land; ♦︎
   you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2  You forgave the offence of your people ♦︎
   and covered all their sins.
3  You laid aside all your fury ♦︎
   and turned from your wrathful indignation.
4  Restore us again, O God our Saviour, ♦︎
   and let your anger cease from us.
5  Will you be displeased with us for ever? ♦︎
   Will you stretch out your wrath from one generation to another?
6  Will you not give us life again, ♦︎
   that your people may rejoice in you?
7  Show us your mercy, O Lord, ♦︎
   and grant us your salvation.
