5 Will you always be angry with us and our families?
6 Won't you give us fresh life and let your people be glad because of you?
7 Show us your love and save us!
8 I will listen to you, Lord God, because you promise peace to those who are faithful and no longer foolish.
9 You are ready to rescue everyone who worships you, so that you will live with us in all your glory.
10 Love and loyalty will come together; goodness and peace will unite.
11 Loyalty will sprout from the ground; justice will look down from the sky above.
12 Our Lord, you will bless us; our land will produce wonderful crops.
13 Justice will march in front, making a path for you to follow.
