Psalm 85

Psalm 85

Restoration of Favor

For the choir director. A psalm of the sons of Korah.

¹Lord, You showed favor to Your land; ^c

You restored Jacob’s prosperity. ^de

²You took away Your people’s guilt;

You covered all their sin. ^fSelah

³You withdrew all Your fury;

You turned from Your burning anger. ^g

⁴Return to us, God of our salvation,

and abandon Your displeasure with us. ^h

⁵Will You be angry with us forever?

Will You prolong Your anger for all generations? ⁱ

⁶Will You not revive us again

so that Your people may rejoice in You? ^j

⁷Show us Your faithful love, Lord,

and give us Your salvation. ^k

⁸I will listen to what God will say;

surely the Lord will declare peace

to His people, His godly ones,

and not let them go back to foolish ways. ^l

⁹His salvation is very near those who fear Him,

so that glory may dwell in our land. ^m

¹⁰Faithful love and truth will join together;

righteousness and peace will embrace. ⁿ

¹¹Truth will spring up from the earth,

and righteousness will look down from heaven. ^o

¹²Also, the Lord will provide what is good,

and our land will yield its crops. ^p

¹³Righteousness will go before Him

to prepare the way for His steps. ^q
