Psalm 85

Psalm LXXXV.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land:

Thou hast ^abrought back the captivity of Jacob.

²Thou hast ^bforgiven the iniquity of thy people,

Thou hast ^bcovered all their sin. Selah.

³Thou hast taken away all thy wrath:

Thou hast ^cturned ^dthyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

^4eTurn us, O God of our salvation,

^fAnd cause thine anger towards us to cease.

^5gWilt thou be angry with us for ever?

Wilt thou ^hdraw out thine anger to all generations?

⁶Wilt thou not ⁱrevive us again:

That ^jthy people may rejoice in thee?

⁷Shew us thy mercy, O Lord,

And grant us thy salvation.

^8kI will hear what God the Lord will speak:

For ^lhe will speak peace unto his people, and to ^mhis saints:

But let them not ⁿturn again to ^ofolly.

⁹Surely ^phis salvation is nigh them that fear him;

That ^qglory may dwell in our land.

^10rMercy and truth ^rrare met together;

^sRighteousness and ^stpeace have kissed each other.

¹¹Truth shall ^uspring out of the earth;

And ^urighteousness shall look down from heaven.

¹²Yea, ^xthe Lord shall give that which is good;

And ^your land shall yield her increase.

^13zRighteousness shall go before him;

And shall set us in the way of his steps.
