Psalm 85

Psalm 85

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm Of the Sons of Korah.

¹Lord, You have been favorable to Your land;

You have ^bbrought back the captivity of Jacob.

²You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people;

You have covered all their sin.

Selah

³You have taken away all Your wrath;

You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger.

^4cRestore us, O God of our salvation,

And cause Your anger toward us to cease.

^5dWill You be angry with us forever?

Will You prolong Your anger to all generations?

⁶Will You not ^erevive us again,

That Your people may rejoice in You?

⁷Show us Your mercy, Lord,

And grant us Your salvation.

⁸I will hear what God the Lord will speak,

For He will speak peace

To His people and to His saints;

But let them not turn back to ¹folly.

⁹Surely ^fHis salvation is near to those who fear Him,

^gThat glory may dwell in our land.

¹⁰Mercy and truth have met together;

^hRighteousness and peace have kissed.

¹¹Truth shall spring out of the earth,

And righteousness shall look down from heaven.

¹²ⁱYes, the Lord will give what is good;

And our land will yield its increase.

¹³Righteousness will go before Him,

And shall make His footsteps our pathway.
