Psalms 26

Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Switch Version:

¹ For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD bestows grace and favor and honor; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

² O LORD of hosts, How blessed and greatly favored is the man who trusts in You [believing in You, relying on You, and committing himself to You with confident hope and expectation].

³ To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. O LORD, You have [at last] shown favor to Your land [of Canaan]; You have restored [from Babylon] the captives of Jacob (Israel).

⁴ You have forgiven the wickedness of Your people; You have covered all their sin. Selah.

⁵ You have withdrawn all Your wrath, You have turned away from Your burning anger.

⁶ Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Your indignation toward us to cease.

⁷ Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger to all generations?

⁸ Will You not revive us and bring us to life again, That Your people may rejoice in You?

⁹ Show us Your lovingkindness, O LORD, And grant us Your salvation.

¹⁰ I will hear [with expectant hope] what God the LORD will say, For He will speak peace to His people, to His[1] godly ones— But let them not turn again to folly.

¹¹ Surely His salvation is near to those who [reverently] fear Him [and obey Him with submissive wonder], That glory [the manifest presence of God] may dwell in our land.

¹² Steadfast love and truth and faithfulness meet together; Righteousness and peace kiss each other.
