Th' iniquity thou didst forgive  
That wrought thy people woe,  
And all their Sin, that did thee grieve  
Hast hid where none shall know.  
Thine anger all thou hadst remov'd,  
And calmly didst return  
10  
From thy *fierce wrath which we had prov'd  
Far worse then fire to burn.  
God of our saving health and peace,  
Turn us, and us restore,  
*Heb. The burning  
heat of thy  
wrath.  
Thine indignation cause to cease  
Toward us, and chide no more.  
Wilt thou be angry without end,  
For ever angry thus  
Wilt thou thy frowning ire extend  
From age to age on us?  
20  
* Heb. Turn to  
quicken us.  
Wilt thou not * turn, and hear our voice  
And us again * revive,  
That so thy people may rejoyce  
By thee preserv'd alive.  
Cause us to see thy goodness Lord,  
To us thy mercy shew  
Thy saving health to us afford  
And lift in us renew.  
And now what God the Lord will speak  
I will go strait and hear,
