Prayer for God’s Mercy upon the Nation.

Psa 85:1

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

LORD, You showed favor to Your land;

You restored the fortunes of Jacob.

Psa 85:2

You forgave the guilt of Your people;

You covered all their sin. Selah

Psa 85:3

You withdrew all Your fury;

You turned away from Your burning anger.

Psa 85:4

Restore us, God of our salvation,

And cause Your indignation toward us to cease.

Psa 85:5

Will You be angry with us forever?

Will You prolong Your anger to [fn]all generations?

Psa 85:6

Will You not [fn]revive us again,

So that Your people may rejoice in You?

Psa 85:7

Show us Your mercy, LORD,

And grant us Your salvation.

Psa 85:8

[fn]I will hear what God the LORD will say;

For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones;

And may they not turn back to [fn]foolishness.

Psa 85:9

Certainly His salvation is near to those who [fn]fear Him,

That glory may dwell in our land.

Psa 85:10

Graciousness and [fn]truth have met together;

Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Psa 85:11

[fn]Truth sprouts from the earth,

And righteousness looks down from heaven.

Psa 85:12

Indeed, the LORD will give what is good,

And our land will yield its produce.

Psa 85:13

Righteousness will go before Him

And will make His footsteps into a way.
