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.
8 I will listen to what the Lord God will say, ♦︎
for he shall speak peace to his people and to the faithful,
that they turn not again to folly.
9 Truly, his salvation is near to those who fear him, ♦︎
that his glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth are met together, ♦︎
righteousness and peace have kissed each other;
11 Truth shall spring up from the earth ♦︎
and righteousness look down from heaven.
12 The Lord will indeed give all that is good, ♦︎
and our land will yield its increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before him ♦︎
and direct his steps in the way.

5Consequently, when Christ* came into the world, he said,
Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body you have prepared for me;
6 in burnt-offerings and sin-offerings
you have taken no pleasure.
7 Then I said, See, God, I have come to do your will, O God
(in the scroll of the book* it is written of me).
8When he said above, You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt-offerings and sin-offerings (these are offered according to the law),
9then he added, See, I have come to do your will. He abolishes the first in order to establish the second.
10And it is by Gods will* that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
