2רָצִ֣יתָ יְהוָ֣ה אַרְצֶ֑ךָ שַׁ֝֗בְתָּ שבות [שְׁבִ֣ית] יַעֲקֹֽב׃
ratzita ADONAI artzekha shavta shevit ya'akov
LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto Thy land, Thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob.
3נָ֭שָׂאתָ עֲוֺ֣ן עַמֶּ֑ךָ כִּסִּ֖יתָ כָל־חַטָּאתָ֣ם סֶֽלָה׃
nasata avon ammekha kissita khal-chattatam sela
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast pardoned all their sin. Selah .
4אָסַ֥פְתָּ כָל־עֶבְרָתֶ֑ךָ הֱ֝שִׁיב֗וֹתָ מֵחֲר֥וֹן אַפֶּֽךָ׃
asafta khal-evratekha heshivota mecharon appekha
Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger.
5שׁ֭וּבֵנוּ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעֵ֑נוּ וְהָפֵ֖ר כַּֽעַסְךָ֣ עִמָּֽנוּ׃
shuvenu elohe yish'enu vehafer ka'askha immanu
Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Thine indignation toward us to cease.
6הַלְעוֹלָ֥ם תֶּֽאֱנַף־בָּ֑נוּ תִּמְשֹׁ֥ךְ אַ֝פְּךָ֗ לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃
hal'olam te'enaf-banu timshokh appekha ledor vador
Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations?
7הֲֽלֹא־אַ֭תָּה תָּשׁ֣וּב תְּחַיֵּ֑נוּ וְ֝עַמְּךָ֗ יִשְׂמְחוּ־בָֽךְ׃
halo-atta tashuv techayyenu ve'ammekha yismechu-vakh
Wilt Thou not quicken us again, That Thy people may rejoice in Thee?
8הַרְאֵ֣נוּ יְהוָ֣ה חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝יֶשְׁעֲךָ֗ תִּתֶּן־לָֽנוּ׃
har'enu ADONAI chasdekha veyesh'akha titten-lanu
Show us Thy mercy, O LORD, And grant us Thy salvation.
9אֶשְׁמְעָ֗ה מַה־יְדַבֵּר֮ הָאֵ֪ל ׀ יְה֫וָ֥ה כִּ֤י ׀ יְדַבֵּ֬ר שָׁל֗וֹם אֶל־עַמּ֥וֹ וְאֶל־חֲסִידָ֑יו וְֽאַל־יָשׁ֥וּבוּ לְכִסְלָֽה׃
eshme'a ma-yedabber ha'el ADONAI ki yedabber shalom el-ammo ve'el-chasidav ve'al-yashuvu lekhisla
I will hear what God the LORD will speak; For He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; But let them not turn back to folly.
10אַ֤ךְ ׀ קָר֣וֹב לִירֵאָ֣יו יִשְׁע֑וֹ לִשְׁכֹּ֖ן כָּב֣וֹד בְּאַרְצֵֽנוּ׃
akh karov lire'av yish'o lishkon kavod be'artzenu
Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him; That glory may dwell in our land.
11חֶֽסֶד־וֶאֱמֶ֥ת נִפְגָּ֑שׁוּ צֶ֖דֶק וְשָׁל֣וֹם נָשָֽׁקוּ׃

Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
12אֱ֭מֶת מֵאֶ֣רֶץ תִּצְמָ֑ח וְ֝צֶ֗דֶק מִשָּׁמַ֥יִם נִשְׁקָֽף׃
emet me'eretz titzmach vetzedek mishamayim nishkaf
Truth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.
13גַּם־יְ֭הוָה יִתֵּ֣ן הַטּ֑וֹב וְ֝אַרְצֵ֗נוּ תִּתֵּ֥ן יְבוּלָֽהּ׃
gam-ADONAI yitten hattov ve'artzenu titten yevulah
Yea, the LORD will give that which is good; And our land shall yield her produce.
14צֶ֭דֶק לְפָנָ֣יו יְהַלֵּ֑ךְ וְיָשֵׂ֖ם לְדֶ֣רֶךְ פְּעָמָֽיו׃
tzedek lefanav yehallekh veyasem lederekh pe'amav
Righteousness shall go before Him, And shall make His footsteps a way.
