Psalm 85:1–7

Lord, you were favorable to your land;

you restored the fortunes of Jacob.

You forgave the iniquity of your people;

you covered all their sin. Selah

You withdrew all your wrath;

you turned from your hot anger.

Restore us again, O God of our salvation,

and put away your indignation toward us!

Will you be angry with us forever?

Will you prolong your anger to all generations?

Will you not revive us again,

that your people may rejoice in you?

Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,

and grant us your salvation.

Lord, you showed favor to your land;

you restored the fortunes of Jacob.

You forgave your people’s guilt;

you covered all their sin.

Selah

You withdrew all your fury;

you turned from your burning anger.

Return to us, God of our salvation,

and abandon your displeasure with us.

Will you be angry with us forever?

Will you prolong your anger for all generations?

Will you not revive us again

so that your people may rejoice in you?

Show us your faithful love, Lord,

and give us your salvation.

Lord, you poured out blessings on your land!

You restored the fortunes of Israel.

You forgave the guilt of your people—

yes, you covered all their sins.

Interlude

You held back your fury.

You kept back your blazing anger.

Now restore us again, O God of our salvation.

Put aside your anger against us once more.

Will you be angry with us always?

Will you prolong your wrath to all generations?

Won’t you revive us again,

so your people can rejoice in you?

Show us your unfailing love, O Lord,

and grant us your salvation.

O Yahweh, you favored your land.

You restored the fortunes of Jacob.

You took away the guilt of your people;

you covered all their sin. Selah

You withdrew all your wrath;

you turned from your burning anger.

Restore us, O God of our salvation,

and annul your vexation with us.

Will you be angry against us forever?

Will you prolong your anger generation after generation?

Will you not again revive us,

that your people might rejoice in you?

Show us, O Yahweh, your loyal love,

and grant us your salvation.

Lord, thou hast been Favourable unto thy land:

Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people,

Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

Thou hast taken away all thy wrath:

Thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

Turn us, O God of our salvation,

And cause thine anger toward us to cease.

Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?

Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

Wilt thou not revive us again:

That thy people may rejoice in thee?

Shew us thy mercy, O Lord,

And grant us thy salvation.
