Psalm 85:1–13

¹You, Lord, showed favor to your land;

you restored the fortunes^l of Jacob.

²You forgave^m the iniquityⁿ of your people

and covered all their sins.^b

³You set aside all your wrath^o

and turned from your fierce anger.^p

⁴Restore^q us again, God our Savior,^r

and put away your displeasure toward us.

⁵Will you be angry with us forever?^s

Will you prolong your anger through all generations?

⁶Will you not revive^t us again,

that your people may rejoice^u in you?

⁷Show us your unfailing love,^v Lord,

and grant us your salvation.^w

⁸I will listen to what God the Lord says;

he promises peace^x to his people, his faithful servants—

but let them not turn to folly.^y

⁹Surely his salvation^z is near those who fear him,

that his glory^a may dwell in our land.

¹⁰Love and faithfulness^b meet together;

righteousness^c and peace kiss each other.

¹¹Faithfulness springs forth from the earth,

and righteousness^d looks down from heaven.

¹²The Lord will indeed give what is good,^e

and our land will yield^f its harvest.

¹³Righteousness goes before him

and prepares the way for his steps.
