⁴ Restore^(F) us again, God our Savior,^(G)
    and put away your displeasure toward us.
⁵ Will you be angry with us forever?^(H)
    Will you prolong your anger through all generations?
⁶ Will you not revive^(I) us again,
    that your people may rejoice^(J) in you?
⁷ Show us your unfailing love,^(K) Lord,
    and grant us your salvation.^(L)

⁸ I will listen to what God the Lord says;
    he promises peace^(M) to his people, his faithful servants—
    but let them not turn to folly.^(N)
9 Surely his salvation^(O) is near those who fear him,
    that his glory^(P) may dwell in our land.

¹⁰ Love and faithfulness^(Q) meet together;
    righteousness^(R) and peace kiss each other.
¹¹ Faithfulness springs forth from the earth,
    and righteousness^(S) looks down from heaven.
¹² The Lord will indeed give what is good,^(T)
    and our land will yield^(U) its harvest.
¹³ Righteousness goes before him
    and prepares the way for his steps.

⁴ Restore our fortunes,^[c](G) Lord,
    like streams in the Negev.^(H)
5 Those who sow with tears^(I)
    will reap^(J) with songs of joy.^(K)
6 Those who go out weeping,^(L)
    carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
    carrying sheaves with them.

⁴ How can we sing the songs of the Lord^(I)
    while in a foreign land?
⁵ If I forget you,^(J) Jerusalem,
    may my right hand forget its skill.
⁶ May my tongue cling to the roof^(K) of my mouth
    if I do not remember^(L) you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem^(M)
    my highest joy.

⁷ Remember, Lord, what the Edomites^(N) did
    on the day Jerusalem fell.^(O)
“Tear it down,” they cried,
    “tear it down to its foundations!”^(P)
8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,^(Q)
    happy is the one who repays you
    according to what you have done to us.
⁹ Happy is the one who seizes your infants
    and dashes them^(R) against the rocks.
