Psalm 85:1–8

1 Lord, thou wast favorable to thy land;

thou didst restore the fortunes of Jacob.

2 Thou didst forgive the iniquity of thy people;

thou didst pardon all their sin. [Selah]

3 Thou didst withdraw all thy wrath;

thou didst turn from thy hot anger.

4 Restore us again, O God of our salvation,

and put away thy indignation toward us!

5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?

Wilt thou prolong thy anger to all generations?

6 Wilt thou not revive us again,

that thy people may rejoice in thee?

7 Show us thy steadfast love, O Lord,

and grant us thy salvation.

8 Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,

for he will speak peace to his people,

to his saints, to those who turn to him in their hearts.s
