Psa 85:1

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land;

Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

Psa 85:2

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people;

Thou hast covered all their sin.

[Selah

Psa 85:3

Thou hast taken away all thy wrath;

Thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

Psa 85:4

Turn us, O God of our salvation,

And cause thine indignation toward us to cease.

Psa 85:5

Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?

Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

Psa 85:6

Wilt thou not quicken us again,

That thy people may rejoice in thee?

Psa 85:7

Show us thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah,

And grant us thy salvation.

Psa 85:8

I will hear what God Jehovah will speak;

For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints:

But let them not turn again to folly.

Psa 85:9

Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him,

That glory may dwell in our land.

Psa 85:10

Mercy and truth are met together;

Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Psa 85:11

Truth springeth out of the earth;

And righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

Psa 85:12

Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good;

And our land shall yield its increase.

Psa 85:13

Righteousness shall go before him,

And shall make his footsteps a way to walk in.
