¹⁶ Let your servant see the light of your face; in your mercy be my saviour.

⁶ There are numbers who say, Who will do us any good? the light of his face has gone from us.

³ Take us back again, O God; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

⁴ Come back, O Lord, make my soul free; O give me salvation because of your mercy.

⁴ But God, being full of mercy, through the great love which he had for us,

⁵ Even when we were dead through our sins, gave us life together with Christ (by grace you have salvation),

⁶ So that we came back from death with him, and are seated with him in the heavens, in Christ Jesus;

⁷ That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:

⁶ To the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely gave to us in the Loved One:

⁷ In whom we have salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, through the wealth of his grace,

²³ And to make clear the wealth of his glory to vessels of mercy, which he had before made ready for glory,

¹⁵ For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and pity on whom I will have pity.

¹⁷ And now, give ear, O our God, to the prayer of your servant and to his request for grace, and let your face be shining on your holy place which is made waste, because of your servants, O Lord.

¹⁸ O my God, let your ear be turned and give hearing; let your eyes be open and see how we have been made waste and the town which is named by your name: for we are not offering our prayers before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercies.

⁹ With the Lord our God are mercies and forgiveness, for we have gone against him;

⁴⁵ And kept in mind his agreement with them, and in his great mercy gave them forgiveness.

¹⁹ Take us back, O Lord God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

⁷ Take us back again, O God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

¹ <To the chief music-maker. With corded instruments. A Psalm. A Song.> May God give us mercy and blessing, and let the light of his face be shining on us; (Selah.)

¹ <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.> Have pity on me, O God, in your mercy; out of a full heart, take away my sin.

⁷ Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.

²⁵ May the light of the Lord's face be shining on you in grace:

²⁶ May the Lord's approval be resting on you and may he give you peace.
