⁴ Now restore us again, O God of our salvation.
    Put aside your anger against us once more.

³ Turn us again to yourself, O God.
    Make your face shine down upon us.
    Only then will we be saved.

⁷ Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies.
    Make your face shine down upon us.
    Only then will we be saved.

¹⁸ Where is another God like you,
    who pardons the guilt of the remnant,
    overlooking the sins of his special people?
You will not stay angry with your people forever,
    because you delight in showing unfailing love.
¹⁹ Once again you will have compassion on us.
    You will trample our sins under your feet
    and throw them into the depths of the ocean!
²⁰ You will show us your faithfulness and unfailing love
    as you promised to our ancestors Abraham and Jacob long ago.

⁷ As for me, I look to the Lord for help.
    I wait confidently for God to save me,
    and my God will certainly hear me.

²¹ Restore us, O Lord, and bring us back to you again!
    Give us back the joys we once had!

¹⁹ Turn us again to yourself, O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies.
    Make your face shine down upon us.
    Only then will we be saved.

¹ The Lord is my light and my salvation—
    so why should I be afraid?
The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
    so why should I tremble?

²     I trust in you, my God!
Do not let me be disgraced,
    or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
