Psalms 85
- 1Lord, you have been favorable to your land: you have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
- 2You have forgiven the wrongdoing of your people, you have covered all their sin. Selah.
- 3You have taken away all your wrath: you have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger.
- 4Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause your anger toward us to stop.
- 5Will you be angry with us for ever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
- 6Will you not revive us again: that your people may rejoice in you?
- 7Show us your mercy, O Lord, and grant us your salvation.
- 8I will hear what God the Lord will speak. For he will speak peace to his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to foolishness.
- 9Surely his salvation is near those who fear him. That glory may stay in our land.
- 10Mercy and truth are met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
- 11Truth shall spring out of the earth. Righteousness shall look down from heaven.
- 12Yes, the Lord shall give that which is good. Our land shall yield her increase.
- 13Righteousness shall go before him. It shall set us in the way of his steps.
