Psalms 85 ⓘ

85:1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. LORD, you have been favourable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.

85:2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. Selah.

85:3 You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.

85:4 Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation towards us to cease.

85:5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?

85:6 Won’t you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?

85:7 Show us your loving kindness, LORD. Grant us your salvation.

85:8 I will hear what God, the LORD, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, his saints; but let them not turn again to folly.

85:9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

85:10 Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

85:11 Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.

85:12 Yes, the LORD will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.

85:13 Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps.
