Prayer for God’s Mercy upon the Nation.

For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

Restoration of Jacob

⁴⁴ Men will buy fields for money, ^[a](A)sign and seal deeds, and call in witnesses in the ^(B)land of Benjamin, in the environs of Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland and in the cities of the ^[b]Negev; for I will ^(C)restore their ^[c]fortunes,’ declares the Lord.”

²⁶ then I would ^(A)reject the ^[a]descendants of Jacob and David My servant, ^[b]not taking from his ^[c]descendants ^(B)rulers over the ^[d]descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But I will ^(C)restore their ^[e]fortunes and will have ^(D)mercy on them.’”
