Show us, Lord, your mercy;
    grant us your salvation.

[a]I will listen for what God, the Lord, has to say;
    surely he will speak of peace
To his people and to his faithful.
    May they not turn to foolishness!
10 Near indeed is his salvation for those who fear him;
    glory will dwell in our land.

I will listen to what God the Lord says;

    but let them not turn to folly.(B)
Surely his salvation(C) is near those who fear him,
    that his glory(D) may dwell in our land.

    righteousness(F) and peace kiss each other.
