Benedixisti, Domine

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 13 verses

  1. 1

    You have been gracious to your land, O LORD, *
    you have restored the good fortune of Jacob.

  2. 2

    You have forgiven the iniquity of your people *
    and blotted out all their sins.

  3. 3

    You have withdrawn all your fury *
    and turned yourself from your wrathful indignation.

  4. 4

    Restore us then, O God our Savior; *
    let your anger depart from us.

  5. 5

    Will you be displeased with us for ever? *
    will you prolong your anger from age to age?

  6. 6

    Will you not give us life again, *
    that your people may rejoice in you?

  7. 7

    Show us your mercy, O LORD, *
    and grant us your salvation.

  8. 8

    I will listen to what the LORD God is saying, *
    for he is speaking peace to his faithful people and to those who turn their hearts to him.

  9. 9

    Truly, his salvation is very near to those who fear him, *
    that his glory may dwell in our land.

  10. 10

    Mercy and truth have met together; *
    righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

  11. 11

    Truth shall spring up from the earth, *
    and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

  12. 12

    The LORD will indeed grant prosperity, *
    and our land will yield its increase.

  13. 13

    Righteousness shall go before him, *
    and peace shall be a pathway for his feet.
